The wiki is able to put markers on maps (such as a floor plan) based on coordinate data to map out the things we document visually. See started demonstrator at NF Map Demo. We could store the coordinates once and then show a full floor map with many markers with hovers and pop-ups somewhere prominent, and a map with the location of the tool on the tool's page. I have set this up on a different wiki before. I could see this being useful for e.g. a map of our fire extinguishers or eye wash stations or...; or they could be on the general map in a red when tools are a different colour.
Steps needed:
- review how the mapping extension would need to be set up
- update Template:Tool to include coordinates, and likely also a variable for "tool", "storage", "infrastructure", "safety"; any others?
- add map location visual to tool template
- make list-and-map pages for rooms, safety equipment, etc.
- re-think: I think we will want to have the coordinates as their own template that includes the coordinates, the tooltip and the tooltip content. More flexible to also use with Computers for member use and Safety equipment and however we end up setting up infrastructure type info

bug - Found work-around for bug, work can continue
However, right now there is some bug with the cargo extension that would pull the coordinates. I have bug reported the bug and will work on this some more when it is fixed.
