Script error: No such module "Location map/multi".

{{Location map+}} places one or more location marks on a map, with optional labels. It is in the same family of templates as the Location map template and the documentation for that template might be helpful.

Template:Location map+ uses a helper template, {{Location map~}}, one or more times to generate a mark for each location.

Parameters

Parameters for Location map+
Parameter Description
{{{1}}} Required. Use the name of the map as the first unnamed parameter. For example, specifying England will use the values for England in Module:Location map/data/England if it exists, or {{Location map England}} otherwise. See the examples below or all subpages.
width Determines the width of the map in pixels, overriding any default values. Do not include px, for example: width=300, not width=300px.
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 px. This value will be multiplied by the defaultscale parameter specified in individual map templates, if it exists, in order to achieve an appropriate size for vertical maps. For example, if 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).
float Specifies the position of the map on the page. Valid values are left, right, center and none. The default is right.
border Specifies the color of the 1px map border. The default is lightgrey (see web colors). If set to none, no border will be generated. This parameter is seldom used.
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 caption is defined but is not assigned a value, the map will not be framed and no caption will be displayed. If caption is not defined, the map will not be framed and a default caption will be generated. The default caption is created from the label parameter (or the current page name if label not defined) and the name parameter from map definition template. See the examples below.
alt Alt text for map; used by screen readers, see WP:ALT.
relief Any non-blank value (1, yes, etc.) will cause the template to display the map specified in the map definition template as image1, which is usually a relief map. See the example at Location map+/relief.
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 Location map+/AlternativeMap.
overlay_image Allows an overlay to be superimposed on the map. This parameter is seldom used. See the example at Location map+/overlay.
places Specifies one or more place markers using Location map~.
Parameters for Location map~
Parameter Description
{{{1}}} Required. Use the name of the map as the first unnamed parameter. For example, specifying England will use the values for England in Module:Location map/data/England if it exists, or {{Location map England}} otherwise. See the examples below.
Label
label The text of the label to display next to the mark. A wiki link can be used. The default if not specified is no label, just the marker. Do not use <div>...</div> tags to attempt to position the label; use |label_size= and |position= instead.
label_size The font size to use for the label, given as a percentage of the label's (already reduced) normal font size (<100 = smaller, >100 = larger). The default is 91; do set lower than 91, per MOS:FONTSIZE. Do not include %, for example: label_size=95, not label_size=95%. If set to 0, the label is displayed only when the user hovers over the mark.
label_width The width to use for the label, given as an em size; the default width is 6. Do not include em. For example, use |label_width=7, not |label_width=7em.
position The position of the label relative to the mark. Valid values are left, right, top and bottom. The default is right.
background The background color to use for the label. See Web colors. The default is no background color, which shows the map image behind the label.
Mark
mark The name of an image to display as the mark. The default is Red pog.svg (Red pog.svg). See examples at Commons:Location markers and Commons:Category:Map icons.
marksize The size of the mark in pixels. The default is 8. Do not include px, for example: marksize=10, not marksize=10px.
link Specifies a wiki link which will be followed if the reader clicks on the mark. Do not include [[]], for example: link=Yellowstone National Park, not link=[[Yellowstone National Park]].
Coordinates
lat_deg Usual Required. The degrees of latitude, using decimal degrees. Logically, use negative number for southern latitude.
lon_deg Required. The degrees of longitude, using decimal degrees. Logically, use negative number for western longitude.
lat_deg Detailed Required. The degrees of latitude. The minutes and, probably, the seconds must be specified.[Note 1]
lat_min The minutes of latitude.[Note 1] The sign should match that of lat_deg.
lat_sec The seconds of latitude. Usually not necessary.[Note 1] The sign should match that of lat_deg.
lat_dir N if north (default value) or S for south of the Equator. Other values will be disregarded.
lon_deg Required. The degrees of longitude. The minutes and, probably, the seconds must be specified.[Note 1]
lon_min The minutes of longitude.[Note 1] The sign should match that of lon_deg.
lon_sec The seconds of longitude. Usually not necessary.[Note 1] The sign should match that of lon_deg.
lon_dir E for east (default value) or W for west of the Prime Meridian. Other values will be disregarded.
cooordinates Alternative The coordinates using {{Coord}} template, e.g. {{coord|48.067|-2.863}}.

Notes:

  1. 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 Appropriate precision should be used. For example, the whole US map, with a 1000-pixel width, has a resolution of about 5km/pixel. Only 2 decimal places of precision in decimal degrees (~1km), or whole minutes (~1.7km) in DMS format, are required.

Available maps

Location maps can be found using these sources:

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.
List of templates - 1050 templates available when the list was generated.
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

This example does not designate the caption parameter. It demonstrates the use of the defaults. Notice that the default caption is the page name followed by the map name in parenthesis and that the label position is automatically adjusted if it is too close to an edge.

Script error: No such module "Location map/multi".

{{Location map+ | Australia
| places =
  {{Location map~ | Australia
    | label = Sydney
    | lat_deg = -33.86
    | lon_deg = 151.21 }}
  {{Location map~ | Australia
    | label = Melbourne
    | coordinates = {{coord|-37.81|144.96}}
  }}
}}
}}

This example uses a designated but empty caption. It demonstrates coordinates using decimal degrees and a 10px mark with a link.

Script error: No such module "Location map/multi".

{{Location map+ | France
| caption =
| places =
  {{Location map~ | France
    | label = Paris
    | position = top
    | marksize = 10
    | link = Paris
    | lat_deg = 48.8567
    | lon_deg = 2.3508
  }}
  {{Location map~ | France
    | label = Marseille
    | position = top
    | marksize = 10
    | link = Marseille
    | lat_deg = 43.2964
    | lon_deg = 5.3610
  }}
}}

This example uses caption with an assigned value. It demonstrates coordinates in degree, minute, second format, a relief map, label background color and linked labels.

Script error: No such module "Location map/multi".

{{Location map+ | USA
| width = 300
| caption = Some cites in the United States
