The map definition, Template:Location_map_Georgia, is intended for overlaying markers and labels on similar maps of Georgia, USA. It is a map locator for the Gerogia blank map, allowing a specified marker-image (parameter "mark=") of set size (defaults "marksize=8") plus an optional name-label to be placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map (or a given image).

This template is used by the parent "Template:Location map" which must be invoked with parameter "Georgia" to process the options before it uses this template. Specify each of the individual parameters by using vertical bars: {{Location map | Georgia | ...}}.
See: {{Location map}} for description of parameters, or Examples below.
