Module:Location map/data/USA Alaska/doc

Template:Location map USA Alaska is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on a map of Alaska. It is used by "Template:Location map" when invoked with parameter "USA Alaska": {{Location map | USA Alaska | ...}}. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.

Map parameters
name	Template:Location map/data/USA Alaska	name used in default map caption
image	Template:Location map/data/USA Alaska	file name of map image, without "Image:" or "File:"
x	Template:Location map/data/USA Alaska	an expression which returns 0 for the left edge of the map, and 100 for the right edge of the map, where {{{2}}} and {{{3}}} are the degrees latitude and longitude respectively.
y	Template:Location map/data/USA Alaska	an expression which returns 0 for the top edge of the map, and 100 for the bottom edge of the map, where {{{2}}} and {{{3}}} are the degrees latitude and longitude respectively.

Usage

For a description of the parameters, see {{Location map}} and {{Location map many}}.

Attu Island and Ketchikan in Alaska

{{Location map many | USA Alaska
| float = right | width = 200
| caption = [[Attu Island]] and [[Ketchikan]] in Alaska
| label = Attu Island | label_size = 90 | pos = right
| lat = 52.9025

| long2 = -131.673333
}}

As shown above, the current implementation of Template:Location map many does not properly display the marker when given a negative longitude (western hemisphere). One workaround is to include the parameter lon_dir (or lon2_dir, lon3_dir, etc.):

{{Location map many | USA Alaska
| float = right | width = 200
| caption = [[Attu Island]] and [[Ketchikan]] in Alaska
| label = Attu Island | label_size = 90 | pos = right
| lat = 52.9025
| long = 172.909444
| label2 = Ketchikan | label2_size = 90 | pos2 = left
| lat2 = 55.35
| long2 = -131.673333
| lon2_dir = W
}}
