ઢાંચો:Location map/sandbox
Template documentationThis 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
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
captioncauses 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
pxwhen setting the map image size. Usingwidth=200pxwill usually cause a very large map to be displayed. Usewidth=200. - To create a map with more than one location mark, use either {{Location map+}} or {{Location map many}}.

Parameters
| 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. Multiple maps can be shown by providing a list of map names separated by #. For multiple maps, the first is shown by default, a reader can select the others with radio buttons. |
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 200x0.57 = 114 pixels (as specified in Module:Location map/data/Thailand). |
max_width | The maximum size of the map in pixels, intended for use by templates, e.g. place infoboxes. Do not include px. |
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 colour 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. Multiple captions can be shown when separated by ## (that's two). |
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 if no coordinates are specified, the template will try to get them from the page's Wikidata item | |
| parameter | description |
label | The text of the label to display next to the identifying mark; a wikilink 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 size is 90. Do not include %, for example: label_size=80, not label_size=80%. If set to 0, the label is only displayed when the user hovers over the mark. |
label_width | The width to use for the label, given as an em size; the default width is 6. Do not include em, for example: label_width=7, not label_width=7em. |
position | The position of the label relative to the identifying mark; valid values are left, right, top,bottom and none. 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. When position=none, any defined label will not be displayed with the mark, but it will be used to create the default caption. |
background | The background colour to use for the label; see Web colors. The default is no background colour, which shows the map image behind the label. |
mark | The name of an image file to display as the identifying mark; the default is Red pog.svg ( ). See examples at Commons:Location markers and Commons:Category:Map icons. |
marksize | The size of the identifying mark in pixels; the default is 8. Do not include px, for example: marksize=10, not marksize=10px. |
link | Specifies a wikilink which can be followed if the reader clicks on the identifying mark; do not include [[]] (double square brackets), for example: link=Yellowstone National Park, not link=[[Yellowstone National Park]]. |
coordinates | The coordinates in {{Coord}} format; whilst not recommended, if you want to waste time, you can also enter them in decimal degrees (e.g. 48.067°N 12.863°E); you shouldn't need to, though. |
lat_deg | 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; not usually 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 | 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; not usually necessary. |
lon_dir | E for east (default value), or W for west of the Prime Meridian; o_ther values will be disregarded. Not required if using signed decimal degrees, i.e. negative numbers for western longitude. |
Available maps
There are over 1,000 maps available. To find other maps:
- Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/ – checked before a map template is searched for, new maps should be created here rather than creating new templates
- Template:Location map/List – some of the items listed here are redirects, and a few templates may not function as expected
- Category:Location map templates – templates sorted by category
- Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info – a search that might help

Examples
Default width and float, no label, default caption (decimal coordinates)
Note: when a label is not specified, the default caption is "Page name (Map name)", so if this example was viewed on a page named Pag, the default caption would be "Pag (Croatia)". Likewise, on a page named Pag (town), the default caption would be "Pag (town) (Croatia)".
{{Location map|Croatia|alt = Pag is on an island.|lat_deg = 44.44|lon_deg = 15.05}}Map with the default caption (degrees/minutes)
Note: when a label is specified, the default caption is "Label text (Map name)", seen as "Pag (Croatia)" in this example.
{{Location map|Croatia|width = 200|float = right|alt = Pag is on an island.|label = Pag|position = right|mark = Green pog.svg <!--green dot-->|lat_deg = 44 |lat_min = 26 <!-- default: lat_dir = N -->|lon_deg = 15 |lon_min = 3 <!-- default: lon_dir = E -->}}When |position=none, the label text is not displayed next to the mark, but is still used in the default caption and default alt text.
{{Location map|Croatia|width = 200|float = right|label = Pag|position = none|mark = Green pog.svg <!--green dot-->|lat_deg = 44 |lat_min = 26 <!-- default: lat_dir = N -->|lon_deg = 15 |lon_min = 3 <!-- default: lon_dir = E -->}}Mark outside of map border, no caption
{{Location map|Croatia|width = 200|float = right|caption =|alt = Rimini in Italy (outside the map)|lat_deg = 44.05|lon_deg = 12.57 <!--outside maps left border at 13.1-->|outside = 1 <!--we're aware the point is outside the map, so suppress the warning category-->|label = Rimini|position = right}}Caption, label_size, background, mark, marksize
