Map of Brazil

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

• Template:Tlx
• Template:Tlx
• Template:Tlx
• Template:Tlx

Map definition

• name = Brazil

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Brazil location map.svg

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

• image1 = Relief Map of Brazil.jpg

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

• top = 6

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = -34

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = -74.5

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = -32

  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

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

{{Location map | Brazil
| width   = 200
| label   = Brasília
| lat_deg = -15.8
| lon_deg = -47.9
}}

Template:Clear

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

{{Location map many | Brazil
| relief   = yes
| width    = 200
| caption  = Three locations in Brazil
| label1   = Brasília
| lat1_deg = -15.8
| lon1_deg = -47.9
| label2   = São Paulo 
| lat2_deg = -23.55
| lon2_deg = -46.63
| lat3_deg = 2.82
| lon3_deg = -60.67
| label3   = Boa Vista
}}

Template:Clear

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

{{Location map+ | Brazil
| AlternativeMap = Relief Map of Brazil.jpg
| width   = 200
| caption = Three locations in Brazil
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Brazil
  | lat_deg = -15.8
  | lon_deg = -47.9
  | label   = Brasília
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Brazil
  | lat_deg = -23.55
  | lon_deg = -46.63
  | label   = São Paulo 
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Brazil
  | lat_deg = 2.82
  | lon_deg = -60.67
  | label   = Boa Vista
  }}
}}
