Template:Location map Egypt is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Egypt. 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 "Egypt":

{{Location map|Egypt |...}}
{{Location map many|Egypt |...}}
{{Location map+|Egypt |...}}
{{Location map~|Egypt |...}}

Map definition

name = Template:Location map/data/Egypt
Name used in the default map caption

image = [[:File:Template:Location map/data/Egypt|Template:Location map/data/Egypt]]
The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"
image1 = [[:File:Template:Location map/data/Egypt|Template:Location map/data/Egypt]]
An alternative map image, usually a relief map, can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters
image2 = [[:File:Template:Location map/data/Egypt|Template:Location map/data/Egypt]]
A second alternative map image, can be displayed via the AlternativeMap parameter only
top = Template:Location map/data/Egypt
Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

bottom = Template:Location map/data/Egypt
Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

left = Template:Location map/data/Egypt
Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

right = Template:Location map/data/Egypt
Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees
x = Template:Location map/data/Egypt
An expression to calculate a location on the map via its longitude; evaluates as 0 along the left edge and 100 along the right edge

y = Template:Location map/data/Egypt
An expression to calculate a location on the map via its latitude; evaluates as 0 along the top edge and 100 along the bottom edge

Alternative map

The map defined as image1 (Template:Location map/data/Egypt) can be displayed by using the relief or AlternativeMap parameters in {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}} and {{Location map+}}. The map defined as image2 (Template:Location map/data/Egypt) can only be displayed by using the AlternativeMap parameter. The use of these two parameters is shown in the examples below.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Alexandria

Alexandria (Egypt)

{{Location map | Egypt
| width   = 220 <!--omit "px"-->
| lat_deg = 31.2
| lon_deg = 29.9
| label   = Alexandria
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

Alexandria

Cairo

Aswan

class=notpageimage|

Alexandria, Cairo, and Aswan

{{Location map many | Egypt
| relief      = yes
| width       = 220
| caption     = Alexandria, Cairo, and Aswan
| lat1_deg    = 31.2
| lon1_deg    = 29.92
| label1      = Alexandria 
| position1   = left
| lat2_deg    = 30.05
| lon2_deg    = 31.22
| label2      = Cairo
| position2   = bottom
| lat3_deg    = 24.06
| lon3_deg    = 32.91
| label3      = Aswan
| position3   = top
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

Sallum

Abu Simbel

class=notpageimage|

Two locations in Egypt

{{Location map+ | Egypt
| AlternativeMap = Egypt relief location map.jpg
| width   = 220
| caption = Two locations in Egypt
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Egypt
  | lat_deg = 31.61
  | lon_deg = 25.92
  | label   = Sallum 
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Egypt
  | lat_deg = 22.34
  | lon_deg = 31.37
  | label   = Abu Simbel
  }}
}}

Other options

It is possible to place markers/labels outside a map, by specifying latitude outside 20.5-32.8 or longitude coordinates beyond 25.5-35.8:

Over longitude=35.8 will push a label off-map to the right;
Under longitude= 20.5 will push a label off-map to the left;
Over latitude= 32.8 will push a label off-map to the top.

For templates that restrict coordinates, expand the minutes field: lat_deg=32.0 but lat_min=120 yielding a combined 34 degrees (60 minutes = 1 degree).
