Forum:Google maps please

Could I request that Google maps be enabled over on WikiJET please? I imagine that we will get many articles describing particular places, and seeing as finding your way around in Japan is notoriously difficult (the streets often have no names!) these Google maps might come in handy. I've already linked externally to a Google map on the Gaucho page but it would be nicer to be able to embed it in the page. Cheers, Bobo12345 09:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem, I'll add it to the list -- sannse (talk) 09:27, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I've added the code to the Gaucho page but it doesn't seem to be working. Am I doing something wrong? Bobo12345 04:55, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


 * We talked on IRC, but just so others reading know... the code needs to be added to the wiki. I'll give a list to Jason today of the next batch of wikis to have that added -- sannse (talk) 12:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Please install the Google maps extension on AachenWiki, too. TillMaas 11:57, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I've got a code for this, and sent it to the technical team. I'll let you know when it's enabled (it may be a while, the last block have all been done and it may be a while until the next) -- Sannse 00:25, 10 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Somebody seems to have installed the maps extension on the AachenWiki, but Google complains about an invalid key on every "edit page". It would be if somebody could fix this problem. Thanks! -- MarkWiesemann 12:13, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reporting this. It should be fixed soon. --rieke 17:19, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Kaz3t has fixed this, all looks to me working now. Sorry for the problem -- Sannse 09:21, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Problems in using Google Map Extension at www.scratchpad.wikia.com
Nightingale 06:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 1)syntax: selctor="no" does not work; selctor always appears on map. i.e. see
 * 2)syntax: scale="yes" does not work; scale does not appear on map.
 * 3)when editing and saving the googlemap tag, the change does not reflect on page instantly. I always observe that no map appears on the page at all after saving googlemap tag.  It takes a few days that I can see the map on the page. This is inconvenient for editing the page.
 * 4)Old version of Google Map Extension? Map editor's at demo site looks different from scratchpad.wikia's map editor. Scratchpad.wikia's map editor does not help to make googlemap tag very much. Please install the latest version : 	0.7.7 (2007-02-28).

Request July 2007
Could I request that Google maps be enabled over on w:c:sca21 please? If already installed there may be a problem - sca21:Forum:Google.maps blocked with the spam filter, Thanks Philralph 08:22, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I've put this request in, it shouldn't take long -- sannse (talk) 09:20, 18 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Less time than I thought! TOR has done this :) It's a good idea to copy over Help:Googlemaps to give you a start in using these -- sannse (talk) 12:24, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
