I imagine a map centered so my real-time current location is in the middle and local points are shown around, as it is in the app.
Being resizable will help to fit it into my layout.
And pinch and stretch will be helpful, too, as on the app.

There could also be a widget to simply directly open the app's Places feature so one can quickly open it. A problem with the current implementation is that you need to return to the Home screen from any open Wikipedia articles. That not only makes it inconvenient to open the map and be a problem to some users due to privacy. Even better would be if one could configure which filters (see T360197) are applied when opening the Places via this widget.
I think the widget as proposed here would drain much battery since it would be tracking GPS and running the map all the time even when not needed when swiping through the page where the widget is used for example.
