Dear Yuri,
Thank you for the information. It is clear now, this map is more to
illustrate an article's topic.
I could login into Phabricator too. I will also pay more attention to
wikidata tags since they are being used in this project.
With best regards,
Oleksiy

Oleksiy, Stefano,
WMF is still working on improving the map style, but I'm sure they
will benefit if you create a specific comment that describes what
should be added, at what level, and what types of articles it would
benefit. Please file requests using this form (you can login using
your Wikipedia user account):
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/1/?tags=map-styles,maps
Please keep in mind that this is a "generic base" map - something
useful for many different types of Wikipedia articles. This map should
be good for overlays - so that article-specific information stands
out. These requirements are very different from the default OSM map,
whose main goal is to help OSM editors check what features are there
or missing.
Lastly, Stefano, it would be great for WMF to add nearby articles too
- it exists in the Android Wikipedia app (possibly iPhone too), but
not in mobile or desktop. This functionality has been discussed, but
hasn't been implemented yet.

Yes. It works my end too. I got it now. I was clicking on the link "O"
to display the OSM map with the Standard Layer, but not on the
coordinates in an article.
The map with the outline opens, however this map is very
simplified, it
does not render many useful for a traveler objects, such as museums,
libraries, supermarkets, universities, hospitals, etc., which are
shown
on the OSM map, MAPS.ME <http://MAPS.ME> map, etc. What for did we
map these objects? I
do not see so far how I can practically use such a map.
With best regards,
Oleksiy
