The '''location map''' template generates a location map as a [[m:Help:composite images|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 {{code|Japan}}, then this template uses the entry for Japan in [[Module:Location map/data/Japan]] if it exists, which contains the data needed to generate the composite image.
===Please note===
*Assigning {{em|any}} value to the parameter {{para|caption}} causes 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 {{kbd|px}} when setting the map image size. Using {{para|width|200px}} will usually cause a very large map to be displayed. Use {{para|width|200}}.
*To create a map with more than one location mark, use either {{tl|Location map+}} or {{tl|Location map many}}.

|+ style=background-color:lightblue| Parameters
|-
! scope="col" | Parameter kind
! scope="col" | Parameter
! scope="col" | Description
|-
| rowspan="11" | Map display
|{{code|{{{1}}}}}
|'''Required''' – use the name of the map as the first unnamed parameter; for example, specifying {{code|England}} will use the values for England in [[Module:Location map/data/England]]. See the [[#Examples|examples]] below. Multiple maps can be shown by providing a list of map names separated by {{kbd|#}}. For multiple maps, the first is shown by default. A reader can select the others with radio buttons.
|-
|{{code|width}}
|Determines the width of the map in [[pixel]]s, overriding any default values; do not include {{kbd|px}}. For example, use {{para|width|300}}, not {{para|width|300px}}.
|-
|{{code|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 {{kbd|px}}. This value will be multiplied by the {{code|defaultscale}} parameter specified in individual map templates, if it exists, in order to achieve an appropriate size for vertical maps. For example, if {{para|default_width|200}} is given, a map of Thailand will be displayed with a width of 200×0.57=114 pixels (as specified in [[Module:Location map/data/Thailand]]).
|-
|{{code|max_width}}
|The maximum size of the map in pixels. Intended for use by templates, e.g. place infoboxes. Do not include {{kbd|px}}.
|-
|{{code|float}}
|Specifies the position of the map on the page; valid values are {{code|left}}, {{code|right}}, {{code|center}} and {{code|none}}. The default is {{code|right}}.
|-
|{{code|border}}
|Specifies the colour of the 1px map border; the default is {{code|lightgrey}} (see [[web colors]]). If set to {{code|none}}, no border will be generated. This parameter is seldom used. Special value: {{code|infobox}}.
|-
|{{code|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 {{para|caption}} is defined but not assigned a value, the map will not be framed and no caption will be displayed. If {{para|caption}} is not defined, the map will not be framed and a default caption will be generated. The default caption is created from the {{para|label}} parameter (or the current page name if {{para|label}} not defined) and the {{para|name}} parameter from the map definition template. Multiple captions can be shown when separated by {{kbd|##}} (that's two).
|-
|{{code|alt}}
|Alt text for map; used by [[screen reader]]s. See [[WP:ALT]].
|-
|{{code|relief}}
|Any non-blank value ({{code|1}}, {{code|yes}}, etc.) will cause the template to display the map specified in the map definition template as {{code|image1}}, which is usually a [[Cartographic relief depiction|relief map]]; see the example at [[Template:Location map+/relief|Location map+/relief]]. Other numerical values such as {{code|2}} or {{code|3}} will display {{code|image2}} or {{code|image3}}, if those images are defined.
|-
|{{code|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 [[Template:Location map+/AlternativeMap|Location map+/AlternativeMap]].
|-
|{{code|overlay_image}}
|Allows an overlay to be superimposed on the map; this parameter is seldom used. See the example at [[Template:Location map+/overlay|Location map+/overlay]].
|-
| rowspan="17" | Label and mark parameters<ref group="note">If no coordinates are specified, the template will try to get them from the page's [[Wikidata]] item.</ref>
|{{code|label}}
|The text of the label to display next to the identifying mark; a [[H:WIKILINK|wikilink]] can be used. You can enclose the label inside of {{tl|nowrap}} if you want to make sure that it stays on a single line. The default (if not specified) is no label, just the marker.
|-
|{{code|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 {{kbd|%}}. For example, use {{para|label_size|80}}, not {{para|label_size|80%}}. If set to {{code|0}}, the label is only displayed when the user hovers over the mark.
|-
|{{code|label_width}}
|The width to use for the label, given as an [[Em (typography)#CSS|em size]]; the default width is 6. Do not include {{kbd|em}}. For example, use {{para|label_width|7}}, not {{para|label_width|7em}}.
|-
|{{code|position}}
|The position of the label relative to the identifying mark; valid values are {{code|left}}, {{code|right}}, {{code|top}},{{code|bottom}} and {{code|none}}. This defaults to either {{code|left}} or {{code|right}}, depending on the coordinates of the marker and its position relative to the right border of the map image. When {{para|position|none}}, any defined label will not be displayed with the mark, but it will be used to create the default caption.
|-
|{{code|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.
|-
|{{code|mark}}
|The name of an image file to display as the identifying mark; the default is [[:File:Red pog.svg|Red pog.svg]] ([[File:Red pog.svg|8px]]).  See examples at [[Commons:Location markers]] and [[Commons:Category:Map icons]].
|-
|{{code|marksize}}
|The size of the identifying mark in pixels; the default is 8. Do not include {{kbd|px}}. For example, use {{para|marksize|10}}, not {{para|marksize|10px}}.
|-
|{{code|link}}
|Specifies a [[H:WIKILINK|wikilink]] which can be followed if the reader clicks on the identifying mark; do not include {{kbd|[[]]}} (double square brackets). For example, use {{para|link|Yellowstone National Park}}, not {{para|link|[{{Zwsp}}[Yellowstone National Park]]}}.
|-
|{{code|coordinates}}
|The coordinates in {{tl|Coord}} format.<br><small>Whilst {{em|not}} recommended, coordinates can also be entered in decimal degrees (e.g. {{code|48.067°N 12.863°E}}); you shouldn't need to do this, though.</small>
|-
|{{code|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.
|-
|{{code|lat_min}}
|The minutes of latitude.
|-
|{{code|lat_sec}}
|The seconds of latitude; not usually necessary.
|-
|{{code|lat_dir}}
|{{code|N}} for north (default value), or {{code|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.
|-
|{{code|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.
|-
|{{code|lon_min}}
|The minutes of longitude.
|-
|{{code|lon_sec}}
|The seconds of longitude; not usually necessary.
|-
|{{code|lon_dir}}
|{{code|E}} for east (default value), or {{code|W}} for west of the [[IERS Reference Meridian|Prime Meridian]]; other values will be disregarded. Not required if using signed decimal degrees, i.e. negative numbers for western longitude.

==Available maps==
[[File:template location map.svg|thumb|360px|Location map templates as of 5 Nov 2014. To find the best location map template covering a given place, open the SVG file in a web browser and use arrow keys and zoom function. Hovering over a region shows its name and highlights it. Clicking it loads its page.]]
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
:* [[Template:Location map/List/sorted]] - a list sorted geographically, which may be more useful
*[[:Category:Location map templates]] – templates sorted by category
*[[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info]] – a search that might help
*[[Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map]] – another 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 <u>Pag</u>, the default caption would be "Pag (Croatia)". Likewise, on a page named <u>Pag (town)</u>, the default caption would be "Pag (town) (Croatia)".
{{Location map|Croatia
