Is there any way of getting the map to link to the item in the article? The default is to #toctitle. I tried putting in anchors, but it does not pick up more than three, and I could not get it to link to the correct anchor. It links to the nearest reference, though. In the [[Tame Valley Canal]] example, what I am looking for is a way to link to each of the items from the map. For example, the M6 item should take me to the line M6 motorway in the article, instead of to [[Tame Valley Canal#toctitle]].

:This is exactly the question I came to ask. So, as well as using the coord|name= to give the list of names, could there be an optional |link parameter so that where included, the google map link would take people straight to the wikipedia article instead of back to the list? Is this technically feasible and if so does it stand any chance of being implemented? Thanks, [[User:RobinLeicester|RobinLeicester]] ([[User talk:RobinLeicester|talk]]) 20:38, 7 June 2013 (UTC)

::I think it should link to wherever the coordinates are given. Mapping a category might be a good alternative for what you're looking to do, and a link to that can be placed on a page other than the category page.

Failing to start googlemap

I have until recently being using this tool without any problem. However now when I click on the link to display googlemap ( e.g. at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Germany) it asks if I want to open a kml file then starts Google Earth with a point at zero long and zero lat. Any ideas what is causing this?--Traveler100 (talk) 12:59, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Problem was with toolserver, which has now been rebooted. problem solved. --Traveler100 (talk) 14:59, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Link

Is there any way of getting the map to link to the item in the article? The default is to #toctitle. I tried putting in anchors, but it does not pick up more than three, and I could not get it to link to the correct anchor. It links to the nearest reference, though. In the Tame Valley Canal example, what I am looking for is a way to link to each of the items from the map. For example, the M6 item should take me to the line M6 motorway in the article, instead of to Tame Valley Canal#toctitle. Apteva (talk) 20:53, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is exactly the question I came to ask. So, as well as using the coord|name= to give the list of names, could there be an optional |link parameter so that where included, the google map link would take people straight to the wikipedia article instead of back to the list? Is this technically feasible and if so does it stand any chance of being implemented? Thanks, RobinLeicester (talk) 20:38, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I think it should link to wherever the coordinates are given. Mapping a category might be a good alternative for what you're looking to do, and a link to that can be placed on a page other than the category page. It's being used that way at List of hoards in Britain#External links for example. --Para (talk) 13:57, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
It's supposed to link to the previous id, so that the coordinates are visible when the link is clicked. That had broken with headings for some reason, but it should work again now. --Para (talk) 13:57, 9 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
