Map of Zimbabwe

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

• {{Location map|Zimbabwe |...}}
• {{Location map many|Zimbabwe |...}}
• {{Location map+|Zimbabwe |...}}
• {{Location map~|Zimbabwe |...}}

Map definition

• name = Zimbabwe

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Zimbabwe adm location map.svg

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

• image1 = Zimbabwe relief location map.jpg

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

• image2 = Zimbabwe location map Topographic.png

  Alternative map image which can be displayed via the AlternativeMap parameter

• top = -15.2

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = -22.8

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = 24.8

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = 33.6

  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. The map displayed as image2 can be used with the AlternativeMap parameter. 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

Precision

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 8.8 degrees.

• At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.044 degrees per pixel.
• At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0088 degrees per pixel.

Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 7.6 degrees.

• At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.038 degrees per pixel.
• At an image height of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0076 degrees per pixel.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Harare

Harare (Zimbabwe)

{{Location map | Zimbabwe
| width   = 250
| lat_deg = -17.86
| lon_deg = 31.03
| label   = Harare
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

Harare

Mutare

class=notpageimage|

Two locations in Zimbabwe

{{Location map many | Zimbabwe
| relief   = yes
| width    = 250
| caption  = Two locations in Zimbabwe
| lat1_deg = -17.86
| lon1_deg = 31.03
| label1   = Harare
| pos1     = bottom
| lat2_deg = -18.97
| lon2_deg = 32.63
| label2   = Mutare
| pos2     = bottom
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

Two locations in Zimbabwe

{{Location map+ | Zimbabwe
| AlternativeMap = Zimbabwe location map Topographic.png

| caption = Two locations in Zimbabwe
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Zimbabwe
  | lat_deg  = -17.86
  | lon_deg  = 31.03
  | label    = Harare
  | position = bottom
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Zimbabwe
