The "Map Link" field was originally put in as part of the migration from
UseModWiki for GrubStreet. This was before the geo coordinates were
abstracted out as separate metadata.
As it is, "Map Link" usually does not convey any useful information which
does not appear elsewhere in the metadata, and is not present in the RDF,
hence cannot be mirrored. The exception to this might be sites that have
their own custom "how to get there" page, but these are few and far
between, and of limited use.
Each site can generate its own map links by processing the lat/long,
OS_X/OS_Y or postcode, into a URL to an external mapping site. We can do
much better than this, as is apparent on [
http://boston.openguides.org].
This could easily be turned into a plugin, or probably just as easily be
done in template logic.
