Using new features: live-link markers and two methods for drawing lines
[edit]
Method 1: Draw a line between two markers/shapes. This is done using the 'mark-line' option within the label-pos parameter:
| label2 = Using mark-line to show a red line to John o' Groats
| shape-outline2=dark red,0
| label-pos2 = left,mark-line,1,solid <!-- this draws a red line to the previous marker, and aligns the label to it -->
| ldx2=-4
Method 2: Include an additional marker, that uses the 'rule' shape option to draw a line of given length and angle.
|mark-coord3={{coord|54.6|-4.305}}
|mark-size3=350
|shape3=rule <!-- this draws a 'rule' line on a given angle, centred at a particular point -->
|shape-angle3=-80.2
|label-angle3=-80.2
|label-pos3=center
|ldy3=-34| ldx3=24
|label3=Using 'rule' to show a dotted line^ Distance = 603 miles (970 km)
|shape-outline3=dark grey,5,40,dotted
It is also now possible (2016) to add arrows to the 'calling end' of a 'mark-line' line. The strategy is to set up the mark-line at the end wanting the arrow, set the shape=arrowhead, and all other parameters as preferred. The arrowhead angle and any label text are automatically given an angle to match the line (unless overidden by 'shape-angle=' and 'label-angle=').

This Solomon Sea map makes use of raw GeoJSON files to show complex tectonic features. The GeoJSON code can be contained within a separate file. In this case it uses two data files called by:
|map-raw={{Wikipedia:Map data/Solomon Sea plate}},{{Wikipedia:Map data/New Britain subduction zone}}
In production note that only selected tectonic features were selected out that were most relevant to an article, as such complex maps can be hard to understand.
Raw GeoJSON has been used in many {{mapframe}} calls used in say infoboxs, before this capacity existed via {{OSM Location map}}. According the GeoJSON code between square brackets [...] in a {{mapframe}} could be used now in a {{OSM Location map}} call if an editor desired to say add extra labels to the map. Complex large raw GeoJSON files can have significant server side processing overhead and some {{mapframe}} code has needed an optimisation trick #tag: to get Lua processing time consistently below the 10 second maximum allowed. An example is on the page Mount Cargill. Such GeoJSON could now be used in a {{OSM Location map}} call and is unlikely to create such issues. See Wikipedia:Map data for a list of the many pre-existing raw GeoJSON files that can now be used in {{OSM Location map}} calls. Changing a {{mapframe}} to {{OSM Location map}} call can improve server side page processing times if the optimisation trick mentioned has not been used.
Map using WikiData Query Service (WDQS)
[edit]
Using a Sparql query it is possible to add live data extracted from Wikidata, to show on a map. The US State Governor party allegiance map also adds links and photos within the fullscreen version, and is created using
|map-wdqs-type=geoshape
|map-wdqs=SELECT ?id ?head (SAMPLE(?img) as ?img_) (min(?partyId) as ?party) (if(?party = '0', '#DB3123', if(?party = '1', '#4B77D6', '#008000')) as ?fill) (concat('[[w:', substr(str(?link),31,400), '{{!}}', ?headLabel, ']]') as ?title) (concat(?stateLabel, '\\n', '[[File:', substr(str(?img_), 52, 400), '{{!}}200px]]') as ?description) WHERE { ?id wdt:P31 wd:Q35657 . ?id wdt:P6 ?head . ?head wdt:P102 ?party . BIND(if(?party = wd:Q29468, '0', if(?party = wd:Q29552, '1', '2')) as ?partyId) SERVICE wikibase:label { bd:serviceParam wikibase:language 'en' . ?head rdfs:label ?headLabel . ?id rdfs:label ?stateLabel . } OPTIONAL { ?head wdt:P18 ?img . } ?link schema:about ?head . ?link schema:isPartOf <https://en.wikipedia.org/> .} GROUP BY ?id ?head ?headLabel ?link ?stateLabel

The dots are then given a relative size to reflect the different values - in this case the populations of each of Togo's 5 regions. It also labels each dot, shows the territorial boundaries (if available from OSM) and provides a table of the data.
