GoogleMap
AboutUs is running the Google Maps Extension. Please see that page for full documentation.
The simplest version is:<googlemap lat="45.51959398363291" lon="-122.66432762145996"></googlemap>
For complete syntax options, please see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Google_Maps/Syntax
Here's a bit more involved example:

<googlemap lat="45.51958" lon="-122.664" type="hybrid" zoom="18" width=595> #770077 (A) 45.51914, -122.6645, [[AboutUs.org]] main office at<br />107 SE Washington, Portland, OR, USA<br />with the marker on the main room where everyone works. 45.51914, -122.66425, the elevator 45.51930, -122.66425, the front door 45.51930, -122.6639, the corner where we cross the street 45.51945, -122.66385, the other side of Stark 45.52000, -122.6637, watch out for the traintracks (B) 45.52000, -122.6636, around the corner to Produce Row </googlemap>

Tag Attributes
QUESTION -- does anybody know what version of the plugin AboutUs has installed? Some of the features in the instructions are not working. -Pete 12:58, 16 June 2008 (PDT)
