Introduction
Maps is a MediaWiki extension that provides the ability to visualize geographic data with dynamic, JavaScript based, mapping API's such as Google Maps and OpenLayers in your wiki pages. It has built-in support for geocoding, displaying maps, displaying markers, adding pop-ups, and more. Maps allows extensive customization of your maps, either per map, or via a general setting affecting all maps on your wiki. It is used by the Semantic Maps extension. (Maps, retrieved Aug 2013.
Geocoding
Geocoding allows to work with addresses instead of coordinates, i.e. geocoding can convert something like 40 boulevard du Pont d'Arve, Geneva
into coordinates.
