Dear Yuri,

Could you, please, provide an example with the location outline?

I tried Salzburg, New York, Odessa, Moscow, etc. in the Russian 
Wikipedia, but I got always just a marker on the map, but not an 
outline, i.e. a line indicating the outer contours or boundaries of an 
object or figure. Perhaps, it is a thin line, and I do not notice it on 
the map? Or I misunderstood something.

With best regards,
Oleksiy
