Module:Location map/data/Tuvalu is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Tuvalu. 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 "Tuvalu":
Map definition
name = Tuvalu- Name used in the default map caption
image = Tuvalu location map.svg- The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"
top = -5.3- Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees
bottom = -11- Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees
left = 175.7- Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees
right = -179.8- Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees
Precision
Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 4.5 degrees.
- At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.0225 degrees per pixel.
- At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0045 degrees per pixel.
Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 5.7 degrees.
- At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.0285 degrees per pixel.
- At an image height of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0057 degrees per pixel.
Examples using location map templates
Location map: Eastern hemisphere, Deg/Min/Sec coordinates
{{Location map | Tuvalu
| width = 150

| lon_deg=176 | lon_min=12 | lon_sec= | lon_dir=E
| background = lightblue
| position = right
}}
Location map: Eastern hemisphere, Decimal coordinates
{{Location map | Tuvalu
