Maps is a MediaWiki extension to visualize and work with geographical information.

Maps has been maintained since 2009, is installed on 1000+ wikis and is used by NASA. Note that the maps used on Wikimedia sites such as Wikipedia and Wikivoyage are generated by the Kartographer extension, not the Maps extension.
