on MAPS

Daniël, Maastricht-wiki:
Hello,

Hey, for Wikimaas, I’m looking for a sort of map-plugin. We want to be able to scan a map of Maastricht and then, quite easily refer to coordinates on it, which could be viewed then.

Something I really liked was on http://www.amsterdamhotspots.nl, but I asked them, and they said they made it in Photoshop, which seems like a hell of a lot of work to me. As we want to keep on adding things to our wiki, I dont want to keep on updating the map… so does somebody know something really smart, maybe some program, or else a method to do this easily, and well - while i’m making demands - preferable executable on oddmuse wiki, but we could try something else too.

DavidCary:
Do you want latlong coordinates ? Then see http:/www.diku.dk/users/elgaard/eps/help.html .

What exactly looks like “a lot of work” ? It seems that adding things involves grabbing the map image file, drawing another label (using Gimp or Photoship or Paint Shop), then uploading that file. It doesn’t look like there needs to be anything added to oddmuse to make it work.

If you find some nice map editing tools, please tell me about it at http://visual.wiki.taoriver.net/moin.cgi/EarthMapTool .

If you find tools that make it easier to collaborate on drawing a map, please tell me about it at http://wikifeatures.wiki.taoriver.net/moin.cgi/WikiWhiteboard .

I was thinking of something, where users could say see [[E4?]] or [[F24?]] for a map, and that than automaticlly the properly highlighted sector would show up. But if I would be making a map my self, the more detailed, the more different files I should create, 10 by 10 would make allready one hundered… and this I do see as a lot of work. Well maybe, when I get unemployed, I could spend some time on it.

What’s a lat/long coordinate?
