However you are not the first in making this mistake and I really like "MapWrapper" the name, and a few groups in India think that this is a better way to think about how a map wraps around the world, as opposed to maps warping.

Hello,
I wondering why the new template support the old KML-overlay.

I think i'm missing the point here, but the warper has a KML output which works nicely in google earth but the subset of kml support in google maps is very poor, (and non existent in their new maps offering)

But maps-wraper need some modification like I mention before.
*Uploading file from Commons over an URL parameter (!!)
*replacing image ID number by image name from commons (!)
*remove User-accounts or usage of O-Auth/OpenID to work with the Wikimedia-Account (!!)

All great ideas.

With parameters I mean a list of matching points. Also if I know that for modern maps that are generated by users in a GIS-system, it would be nice to support GDAL <http://www.gdal.org/gdalwarp.html> for transformations. But I don't believe that maps-wraper support it.

The warper actually only uses GDAL (gdalwarp and gdal_translate) to do the transformations.
