Template:Location map USA Georgia/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The map definition, Template:Location_map_USA_Georgia, is intended for overlaying markers and labels on similar maps of Georgia, USA. It is a map locator for the Gerogia blank map, allowing a specified marker-image (parameter "mark=") of set size (defaults "marksize=8") plus an optional name-label to be placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map (or a given image).

This template is used by the parent "Template:Location map" which must be invoked with parameter "Georgia" to process the options before it uses this template. Specify each of the individual parameters by using vertical bars: {{Location map | Georgia | ...}}.

See: {{Location map}} for description of parameters, or Examples below.

Map parameters
top	35.1	latitude at top of map
bottom	30.3	latitude at bottom of map
left	-85.69	longitude at map left edge
right	-80.75	longitude at map right edge
skew	1.00	skew to narrow longitudes
lat_skew	0.00	skew to arc latitudes at edges

[edit] Examples

Example labeling "McCaysville":

{{Location map

| USA Georgia

| label = McCaysville

| label_size = 90 <--percent 0-900%

| caption = Show "McCaysville" in Georgia

| lat_deg=34  | lat_min= 58.90

| lon_deg= -84 | lon_min= -22.20

| background = #FFFF99 | position=bottom

| float = right

| width = 220

}}

Example for "Macon" & orange "Valdosta" at bottom:

{{Location map many

| USA Georgia

| caption = Macon & Valdosta in Georgia

| label = Macon

  | label_size=90

  | lat_deg= 32 | lat_min=50.1

  | lon_deg=-83 | lon_min= -39.1

  | background = <!--gold-->#CCCC55

| label2 = Valdosta

  | label2_size=90 | pos2=top

  | lat2_deg= 30 | lat2_min= 50.8

  | lon2_deg=-83 | lon2_min= -17.3

  | bg2 = <!--orange-->#FFCC66

| float = right | width = 220

| AlternativeMap= <!--none (default)-->

}}

Example labeling "Atlanta" and "Lake Lanier":

{{Location map many

| USA Georgia

| caption = "Atlanta" & "Lake Lanier"

| label = Atlanta | position = bottom

  | label_size=80 <!--percent 0-200%-->

  | lat_deg= 33 | lat_min=45.3

  | lon_deg=-84 | lon_min= -23.40

  | background = #FFFF99

| label2 = Lake Lanier | pos2 = top

  | label2_size=80

  | lat2_deg= 34 | lat2_min=12.2

  | lon2_deg=-83 | lon2_min= -58.95

  | bg2 = SkyBlue

  | mark2=Blue_pog.svg | mark2size=12

| float = right | width = 220

}}





Example labeling "Atlanta" on wrong-scale map:

{{Location map

| USA Georgia

| label = Atlanta | position = top

| label_size = 78 <!-- percent 0-900% -->

| caption = "Atlanta" on wrong-scale map

| lat_deg=33  | lat_min=45.3

| lon_deg=-84 | lon_min= -23.40

| background = #FFFF99

| float = right

| width = 220

| AlternativeMap = Sweden_CIA_map_extended.gif
