It is possible to create client-side image maps by hand using a text editor, but doing so requires web designers to know how to code HTML as well as how to enumerate the coordinates of the areas they wish to place over the image.
The W3C Geolocation API is an effort by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to standardize an interface to retrieve the geographical location information for a client-side device. [3]
This draft guideline was created to provide wikipedians with basic instruction and advanced techniques in using coordinate-referenced map templates to generate maps in wikipedia articles. For the purposes of this article, Geolinks can be defined as links to commercial maps using geographical coordinates.
Usage: These maps are used especially by Template:Location map which uses geolocalisations to add a location mark (like ) and/or a label onto the map in the browser. They are also used as background for locator maps to enlight the place and area of major subdivisions in a country, of a species range, etc.
By adding coordinates, a Wikipedia reader can easily view the location on a street map, nautical chart, topographic map, by satellite photo, realtime weather map, and many other options. Coordinate data makes an article eventually appear in various services such as Google Maps Wikipedia overlay, Google Earth , Copernix.io and Wikimedia's map ...
To add to the top of an article, use {{}}, {{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W|display=title}} These coordinates are in degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc. "title" means that the coordinates will be displayed next to the article's title at the top of the page (in desktop view only; title coordinates do not display in mobile view) and before any other text or images.
A Web Map Service (WMS) is a standard protocol developed by the Open Geospatial Consortium in 1999 for serving georeferenced map images over the Internet. [1] These images are typically produced by a map server from data provided by a GIS database.
This template is used to display a clickable world map to help users navigate a large list of countries by continent. Include the following where you want the map to appear: {{world image map}} The image map assumes that in-page links to all the continents exist, e.g., #Africa, and in some cases, individual countries, e.g., #Canada.
