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

  • right = 33.2
    Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Template:Location map

{{Location map | South Africa
| width   = 250
| lat_deg = -25.75
| lon_deg = 28.19
| label   = Pretoria
}}

Template:Clear

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

Template:Location map many

{{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
}}

Template:Clear

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

Template:Location map+

{{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
