Map of Australia

Module:Location map/data/Australia is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Australia. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.

Usage

These definitions are used by the following templates when invoked with parameter "Australia":

{{Location map|Australia |...}}
{{Location map many|Australia |...}}
{{Location map+|Australia |...}}
{{Location map~|Australia |...}}

Map definition

name = Australia
Name used in the default map caption

image = Australia location map.svg
The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"
image1 = Australia relief map.jpg
An alternative map image, usually a relief map, which can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters
image2 = Australia location map grey.svg
Alternative map image which can be displayed via the AlternativeMap parameter
top = -9
Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

bottom = -44.5
Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

left = 111.5
Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

right = 155
Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Alternative map

The {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}}, and {{Location map+}} templates have parameters to specify an alternative map image. The map displayed as image1 can be used with the relief or AlternativeMap parameters. The map displayed as image2 can be used with the AlternativeMap parameter. Examples may be found below or in the following:

Precision

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 43.5 degrees.

At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.2175 degrees per pixel.
At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0435 degrees per pixel.

Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 35.5 degrees.

At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.1775 degrees per pixel.
At an image height of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0355 degrees per pixel.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Canberra

Canberra (Australia)

{{Location map | Australia

| lat_deg=35  | lat_min=18 | lat_sec=27 | lat_dir=S
| lon_deg=149 | lon_min=07 | lon_sec=28 | lon_dir=E
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

Template:Location map many

{{Location map many | Australia
