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.
