This is the documentation page for Module:Location map/data/South Africa
Lua error: expandTemplate: template "coord" does not exist.
Module:Location map/data/South Africa is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of South Africa. 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 "South Africa":
Map definition
name = South Africa- Name used in the default map caption
image = South Africa adm location map.svg- The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"
image1 = South Africa relief location map.svg- An alternative map image, usually a relief map, which can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters
top = -21.8- Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees
bottom = -35.2- Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees
left = 16- Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees
right = 33.2- 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. 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 17.2 degrees.

Examples using location map templates
Location map, using default map (image)
{{Location map | South Africa
| width = 250
| lat_deg = -25.75
| lon_deg = 28.19
| label = Pretoria
}}
Location map many, using relief map (image1)
{{Location map many | South Africa
| relief = yes
| width = 250
| caption = Two locations in South Africa
| lat1_deg = -25.75
| lon1_deg = 28.19
| label1 = Pretoria
| lat2_deg = -33.93
| lon2_deg = 18.42
| label2 = Cape Town
}}
Location map+, using AlternativeMap
{{Location map+ | South Africa
| AlternativeMap = South Africa relief location map.svg
| width = 250
| caption = Two locations in South Africa
| places =
{{Location map~ | South Africa
| lat_deg = -25.75
| lon_deg = 28.19
| label = Pretoria
}}
{{Location map~ | South Africa
| lat_deg = -33.93
| lon_deg = 18.42
| label = Cape Town
}}
}}
