Creates a location map as a composite image of an existing map in orthographic projection with a marker and a label superimposed onto it.

Usage

{{Location map|location
 |label=label
 |position=left or right - position of the label relative to the mark, defaults to right
 |background=color - background color for the label, defaults to none 
 |lat=lattitude in degrees
 |long=longitude in degrees
 |mark=image file name - a red dot by default
 |caption=caption - caption below the map
 |float=left or right or none
 |width=width of the map
}}

Parameter location refers to Template:Location map location containing the name and coordinates of a map. For example Template:Location map Slovenia (backlinks edit), which in turn refers to Image:Obcine Slovenija 2005.png.

Available maps

List of templates Template:Location map location (here without prefix "Template:"):

Creating new maps

  1. Find an appropriate blank map in an orthographic projection.
  2. Create a template named Template:Location map location (copy the content of any other map template into it and enter appropriate values).

Issues

Doesn't handle longitude properly for maps crossing the +/- 180 meridian yet.

Examples

{{Location map|Slovenia|float=none|label=Maribor|lat=46.55|long=15.64|position=left}}
