Help:Maps: Difference between revisions

Saintapedia editors/contributors can show geographic data on wiki pages with '''interactive maps.''' There are three services options, [[Google Maps]], [[OpenLayers]], and [[Leaflet]].  The later two pull their information from [[OpenStreetMap]].  Editors can create custom maps that display general areas, one location, multiple locations, linked pins, pop-up information windows, and many other search features.   

[[Enhanced editor]] must be used when adding or editing maps.  [[Saintapedia:Visual editor|VisualEditor]] does not allow you to make changes to maps.   

The default mapping method has been changed from Google Maps to OpenLayers due to a limit in Google Maps [[API]].  This functionality was added to Saintapedia through {{MW|Extension:Maps}}.

Since the full width option will not be optimal for most Saintapedia articles, you could specify the width.  The example below is 500 pixels wide and 400 pixels tall.   

There are a number of [[Help:Maps (Parameters)|parameters]] that can be applied to Saintapedia's interactive maps.  Multiple images is the most popular.

Maps also has built-in support for geocoding, displaying maps, displaying markers and geospatial shapes, adding pop-ups, and more and allows extensive customization per map, or for all maps on Saintapedia.  Documentation and examples for these options have not yet been created.
