WikiQueer:WikiQueer Maps

WikiQueer Maps is a WikiQueer project hosted on the Linode server which utilizes data from OpenStreetMap to provide maps and related information specific to the queer community. The project lead is User:Tom, who began work on the beta version of WikiQueer Maps in late December of 2012. The project is housed at maps.wikiqueer.org.
