Map of Tasmania

Module:Location map/data/Australia Tasmania is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Tasmania. 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 Tasmania":

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

Map definition

• name = Tasmania

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Australia Tasmania location map.svg

  The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"

• image1 = Relief Map of Tasmania.png

  An alternative map image, usually a relief map, which can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters

• image2 = Australia Tasmania location map blank.svg

  Alternative map image which can be displayed via the AlternativeMap parameter

• top = -39

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = -44

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = 143.5

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = 149

  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:

• Template:Location map#Relief parameter
• Template:Location map+/relief
• Template:Location map#AlternativeMap parameter
• Template:Location map+/AlternativeMap

Precision

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 5.5 degrees.

• At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.0275 degrees per pixel.
• At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0055 degrees per pixel.

Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 5 degrees.

• At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.025 degrees per pixel.
• At an image height of 1000 pixels, that is 0.005 degrees per pixel.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Hobart

Hobart (Tasmania)

{{Location map | Australia Tasmania
| width = 200
| label = Hobart
| lat_deg = 42  | lat_min = 52 | lat_sec = 50 | lat_dir = S
| lon_deg = 147 | lon_min = 19 | lon_sec = 30 | lon_dir = E
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

{{Location map many | Australia Tasmania
| relief   = yes
| width    = 200
| caption  = Locations in Tasmania
| lat1 = -39.93 | long1 = 143.85 | label1 = Currie
| lat2 = -43.58 | long2 = 146.87 | label2 = Cockle Creek
| lat3 = -41.05 | long3 = 144.67 | label3 = Arthur River
| lat4 = -42.12 | long4 = 148.28 | label4 = Coles Bay
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

Currie

Cockle Creek

Arthur River

Coles Bay

Locations in Tasmania

{{Location map+ | Australia Tasmania
| AlternativeMap=Australia Tasmania location map blank.svg
| width   = 200
| caption = Locations in Tasmania
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Australia Tasmania

  }}
  {{Location map~ | Australia Tasmania
  | lat = -43.58 | long = 146.87 | label = Cockle Creek
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Australia Tasmania
  | lat = -41.05 | long = 144.67 | label = Arthur River
  }}
