This is the documentation page for the ##""{{mapstraction}}""## action.

====Documentation====

===Short description===
This action outputs a map of a given map provider. The mapstraction scripts support different providers. Some need keys for usage, some have withdrawn their service (e.g. Microsoft, ""MapQuest"").

===Requirements===
To use this action you'll need the scripts you find here: http://mapstraction.com/svn/source/

Put them into the directory ##[your wikka installation directory]/3rdparty/plugins/mapstraction/##. Furthermore you should add this line to you wikka.config.php:
%%(php)
	'mapstraction_path' => '3rdparty/plugins/mapstraction',
%%
Of course, you can choose a different path -- but why?
