Features & Capabilities

This extension adds a button to the address bar which allows to view current Google Maps location in the new tab on Wikimapia at the same zoom if available.

It works on all supported Google domains except for '.ru'. See the Google domain reference: https://www.google.com/supported_domains.

It doesn't work on websites other than Google Maps (eg. google.com/maps).

Available locales: English, Ukrainian.

How it works

On Google Maps website, click the address bar button. This will open your location with the same coordinates and zoom (if available) on the wikimapia.org website in the new browser tab.

Zoom

Direct zoom value is currently not available in the satellite view of Google Maps. In this case Wikimapia will open location with their default zoom.

Zoom might be fractional in Google Maps, it will be rounded on the Wikimapia website.

Icon

GW Locate icon is thankfully taken from the Icon Beast Lite set.

A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data.
