This template generates a location map as a composite image consisting of a map and a location mark. Optionally a label and caption can be added.

Usage[އުނިއިތުރު ގެންނަވާ]

Map image files are not accessed directly but by using an auxiliary map definition. For example, if the first unnamed parameter supplied to this template is "Japan", then this template uses the entry for Japan in Module:Location map/data/Japan if it exists, or

{{Location map Japan}} otherwise, one of which contains the data needed to generate the composite image.

Please note
  • Assigning any value to the parameter caption causes the map to be displayed as a thumbnail image. If this parameter is not declared, the template will generate a default caption.
  • The coordinates are not checked. If the coordinates specified fall outside the area covered by the map image, the location mark will not display inside the image; however, it may be displayed somewhere else on the page.
  • Do not use px. Using width=200px will usually cause a very large map to be displayed. Use width=200.
  • To create a map with more than one location mark use
{{Location map+}} or

{{Location map many}}.

Parameters[އުނިއިތުރު ގެންނަވާ]

Map display parameters
Parameter Description
{{{1}}} Required. Use the name of the map as the first unnamed parameter. For example, specifying England will use the values for England in Module:Location map/data/England if it exists, or

{{Location map England}} otherwise. See the examples below.

width Determines the width of the map in pixels, overriding any default values. Do not include px, for example: width=300, not width=300px.
default_width Determines the default width of the map in pixels, intended for use by templates e.g. place infoboxes. The default value is 240. Do not include px. This value will be multiplied by the defaultscale parameter specified in individual map templates, if it exists, in order to achieve an appropriate size for vertical maps. For example if default_width=200 is given, a map of Thailand will be displayed with a width of 200 * 0.57 = 114 pixels (as specified in Template:Location map Thailand).
float Specifies the position of the map on the page. Valid values are left, right, center and none. The default is right.
border Specifies the color of the 1px map border. The default is lightgrey (see web colors). If set to none, no border will be generated. This parameter is seldom used.
caption The text of a caption to be displayed below the map. Specifying a caption will cause the map to be displayed with a frame. If caption is defined but is not assigned a value, the map will not be framed and no caption will be displayed. If caption is not defined, the map will not be framed and a default caption will be generated. The default caption is created from the label parameter (or the current page name if label not defined) and the name parameter from map definition template. See the examples below.
alt Alt text for map; used by screen readers, see WP:ALT.
relief Any non-blank value (1, yes, etc.) will cause the template to display the map specified in the map definition template as image1, which is usually a relief map. See the example at Location map+/relief.
AlternativeMap Allows the use of an alternative map. The image must have the same edge coordinates as the location map template. See the example at Location map+/AlternativeMap.
overlay_image Allows an overlay to be superimposed on the map. This parameter is seldom used. See the example at Location map+/overlay.
Label and mark parameters
Parameter Description
label The text of the label to display next to the mark. A wiki link can be used. The default if not specified is no label, just the marker.
label_size The font size to use for the label, given as a percentage of the normal font size (<100 = smaller, >100 = larger). The default is 90. Do not include %, for example: label_size=80, not label_size=80%.
label_width The width to use for the label, given as an em size. The default is 6. Do not include em, for example: label_width=7, not label_width=7em.
position The position of the label relative to the mark. Valid values are left, right, top and bottom. This defaults to either left or right, depending on the coordinates of the marker and its position relative to the right border of the map image.
background The background color to use for the label. See Web colors. The default is no background color, which shows the map image behind the label.
mark The name of an image to display as the mark. The default is Red pog.svg (). See examples at Commons:Location markers and Commons:Category:Map icons.
marksize The size of the mark in pixels. The default is 8. Do not include px, for example: marksize=10, not marksize=10px.
link Specifies a wiki link which will be followed if the reader clicks on the mark. The name of the linked article is displayed when the mouse pointer hovers over the mark.
lat_deg Required. The degrees of latitude. This value can be specified using decimal degrees and when this format is used minutes and seconds should not be specified.
lat_min The minutes of latitude.
lat_sec The seconds of latitude. Usually not necessary.
lat_dir N if north (default value) or S for south of the Equator. Other values will be disregarded. Not required if using signed decimal degrees (i.e. negative numbers for southern latitude).
lon_deg Required. The degrees of longitude. This value can be specified using decimal degrees and when this format is used minutes and seconds should not be specified.
lon_min The minutes of longitude.
lon_sec The seconds of longitude. Usually not necessary.
lon_dir E for east (default value) or W for west of the Prime Meridian. Other values will be disregarded. Not required if using signed decimal degrees (i.e. negative numbers for western longitude).
