Map of Japan

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

• {{Location map|Japan |...}}
• {{Location map many|Japan |...}}
• {{Location map+|Japan |...}}
• {{Location map~|Japan |...}}

Map definition

• name = Japan

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Japan location map with side map of the Ryukyu Islands.svg

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

• image1 = Japan natural location map with side map of the Ryukyu Islands.jpg

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

• image2 = Japan bluemarble location map with side map of the Ryukyu Islands.jpg

  Alternative map image which can be displayed via the AlternativeMap parameter

• x = 100*(($1>30.90)*($2-128.24)/(149.27-128.24)+($1<=30.90)*($2-110.43)/(131.44-110.43))

  An expression to calculate a location on the map via its longitude; evaluates as 0 along the left edge and 100 along the right edge

• y = 100*(($1>30.90)*($1-45.86)/(30.02-45.86)+($1<=30.90)*($1-39.54)/(23.71-39.54))

  An expression to calculate a location on the map via its latitude; evaluates as 0 along the top edge and 100 along the bottom edge

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

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Fukuoka

Fukuoka (Japan)

{{Location map |Japan
|label = Fukuoka
|coordinates = {{coord|33|35|N|130|24|E|display=inline}}
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

{{Location map many |Japan
|relief = yes
|caption = Locations in [[Japan]] and [[Ryukyu Islands]]
|background = lightgrey
|label1 = Fukuoka
|coordinates1 = {{coord|33|35|N|130|24|E|display=inline}}
|label2 = Naha
|coordinates2 = {{coord|26|12|N|127|41|E|display=inline}}
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

Fukuoka

Naha

Locations in Japan and Ryukyu Islands

{{Location map+ |Japan
|AlternativeMap = Japan bluemarble location map with
                  side map of the Ryukyu Islands.jpg
|caption = Locations in [[Japan]] and [[Ryukyu Islands]]
|places =
  {{Location map~ |Japan
  |background = lightgrey
  |label = Fukuoka
  |coordinates = {{coord|33|35|N|130|24|E|display=inline}}
  }}
  {{Location map~ |Japan
  |label = Naha
  |coordinates = {{coord|26|12|N|127|41|E|display=inline}}
  }}
}}

Examples using Infobox settlement

Main islands north of 30.90°N, with default map image

{{Infobox settlement
|name               = Fukuoka
|subdivision_type   = Country
|subdivision_name   = Japan
|subdivision_type1  = Region
|subdivision_name1  = Kyūshū
|subdivision_type2  = Prefecture
|subdivision_name2  = Fukuoka
|pushpin_map        = Japan
|coordinates        = {{coord|33|35|N|130|24|E|region:JP|display=inline}}
}}

Ryukyu Islands south of 30.90°N, with alternative map image

{{Infobox settlement
|name               = Naha
|subdivision_type   = Country
|subdivision_name   = [[Japan]]
|subdivision_type1  = Region
|subdivision_name1  = Kyūshū
|subdivision_type2  = Prefecture
|subdivision_name2  = Okinawa
|pushpin_map        = Japan
|pushpin_image      = Japan natural location map with
                      side map of the Ryukyu Islands.jpg
|coordinates        = {{coord|26|12|N|127|41|E|region:JP|display=inline}}
}}
