Update. There is now a Special:Map which when passed API parameters can construct a map from the corresponding API request. This would give us the opportunity to create maps around existing data. This would support a Nearby map view.
See this link for more: http://wikimaps-ext.wmflabs.org/wiki/Making_maps_via_the_API All of this is very prototypal and can be removed if there is no need. I plan to get this off Github and on to Gerrit sometime next week.
