Old Googlemap Markup:

{{map|lat=-36.777908|lon=175.043085|zoom=15|width=400|height=300|title=Map Title}}

New display_map markup:

{{#display_map: -36.777908, 175.043085
| height= 200px
| width= 300px
|resizable=yes
|minzoom=12
|maxzoom=15
|zoom=14
}}

result:

Replacing old googlemaps[edit]

Install http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Replace_Text extension

• First step

Original Text:
Google Maps location of (.*)\<googlemap(.*)lat="(.*)" lon="(.*)" zoom="(.*)" width="(.*)" height="(.*)" type="(.*)"\>(.*)\<.googlemap\>
Replacement Text:
Maps location of $1 {{map|lat=$3|lon=$4|zoom=$5|width=$6|height=$7|type=$8|title=$9}}

• Second step

Original Text:
\<googlemap(.*)lat="(.*)" lon="(.*)" zoom="(.*)" width="(.*)" height="(.*)" type="(.*)"\>(.*)\<.googlemap\>
Replacement Text:
{{map|lat=$2|lon=$3|zoom=$4|width=$5|height=$6|type=$7|title=$8}}

• Third step

e.g. Boat Shed Bay
<googlemap version="0.9" lat="-36.778183" lon="175.044415" type="satellite" zoom="16"> http:// -36.778122, 175.047015, Boat Shed Bay Boat Shed Bay </googlemap> 

Original Text:
Google Maps location of (.*)\<googlemap(.*)lat="(.*)" lon="(.*)" zoom="(.*)" width="(.*)" height="(.*)" type="(.*)"\>(.*)\<.googlemap\>
Replacement Text:
Maps location of $1 {{map|lat=$3|lon=$4|zoom=$5|width=$6|height=$7|type=$8|title=$9}}

• Fourth step

e.g.  Ferry Building
<googlemap lat="-36.843" lon="174.767" zoom="17" width="600" height="400">-36.843,174.767,Auckland Ferry Building</googlemap>
Original Text:
Google Maps location of (.*)\<googlemap(.*)lat="(.*)" lon="(.*)" zoom="(.*)" width="(.*)" height="(.*)" type="(.*)"\>(.*)\<.googlemap\>
Replacement Text:
Maps location of $1 {{map|lat=$3|lon=$4|zoom=$5|width=$6|height=$7|type=$8|title=$9}}

• Fifth step

\<googlemap(.*)lat="(.*)" lon="(.*)" zoom="(.*)" width="(.*)" height="(.*)"\>(.*)\<.googlemap\>
{{map|lat=$2|lon=$3|zoom=$4|width=$5|height=$6|title=$7}}
