Template:Location map
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/43/Test_Template_Info-Icon_-_Version_%282%29.svg/50px-Test_Template_Info-Icon_-_Version_%282%29.svg.png)
Creates a location map as a composite image of an existing map in equirectangular projection with a marker and an optional label superimposed onto it. Note:
- Using "caption=xxx" frames the map (empty "caption=" leaves map unframed);
- The marker/label is not checked for valid latitude/longitude & could land anywhere on the article page, even beyond the bottom;
- To suppress the marker, set marksize=1 pixel wide.
- For map "width=250" omit "px" or will stretch across page.
- To place multiple markers/labels, refer below to: See also.
- To map along converging longitudes, refer to: Template:Location_map_skew.
Usage
{{Location map|location|label = label text|label_size = map font size, per cent|alt = Alt text for image (defaults to generic description)|position = left or right or top or bottom or none – position of the label relative to the mark, defaults to right|background = color, background color for the label, defaults to none |lon_dir=W longitude: W=west, E=east (default)|lat_dir=S latitude: S=south, N=north (default)|lat_deg = latitude degrees|lat_min = latitude minutes|lat_sec = latitude seconds|lon_deg = longitude degrees|lon_min = longitude minutes|lon_sec = longitude seconds|lat = latitude (decimal format; enter negative numbers for southern latitude)|long = longitude (decimal format; enter negative numbers for western longitude)|mark = marker image file name, a red dot by default|marksize = marker size, default=8|border = border color or none|caption = map caption; for no caption enter "caption="; if the parameter is omitted then the caption will be "Marker text (location map name)"|float = left or right or center or none|width = map width (omit "px" or will stretch across page)|AlternativeMap = Alternative map file name (changes background map, border coordinates are determined based on the map name); this is only recommended for use in templates }}
Parameter location refers to {Template:Location map location} containing the name and coordinates of a map.
