Metadata display: I've moved the postcode field up to join onto the rest of the address, and moved the map links to one side underneath the inline node map, to make the metadata display look a bit less "wall of text" like. I will also be separating out the categories (and maybe locales) at some point, though I'm not yet sure where to put them.
I particularly like the inline node map, which I would happily see added to other wiki guides, including RGL.
its actually what core openguides does. just on rgl we choose to not display it.
I might personally be tempted to hide the other map links behind an "other maps" link with a bit of javascript magic on browsers that support such things, but this is a question of taste. (Perhaps several questions of taste...)
which is what rgl does.
Maps: I've added Stamen Watercolour and Google Satellite View to the options already provided in core OpenGuides (OpenStreetMap and MapQuest).
I guess there's an interesting larger question here about how to choose which maps to offer, and who should do it. I don't like the Wikipedia solution, which IMO involves too much indirection and too much choice. Having the wiki operator make a selection that feels appropriate to them is a reasonable and simple compromise, but it doesn't feel ideal. It might be optimal, however.
