This template is a simplified usage of <code>...</code>. Each anonymous parameter is a string to format. Note that <nowiki>...</nowiki>; is needed around a parameter value if it contains the pipe ( | ) or equals ( = ) symbols, or they will be treated as a parameter separator or parameter identifier, respectively.
The HTML markup produced by this template emits an Geo microformat, which makes the location's coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map. As yet, the standard for doing this for off-world bodies is still under development, but is supported in some microformat parsers (e.g. Swignition ).
The 'full screen' map uses the same OSM base map, in a different map environment, including the option for users to scale in and out, to pan across the map, and to find (via the 'More details' button) other maps and satellite imagery for the location.
These are not forks but rather auxiliary pages and must have names following the pattern "Module:Location map/data/location" or "Template:Location map location", where location is the name of the area covered by the map. The template space is supported only for backward compatibility; all new map definitions should be created as modules.
If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add [[Category:Map templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add <noinclude>[[Category:Map templates]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last ...
Google Earth is a free program for Linux Macintosh or Windows which displays satellite photos, road maps, and other forms of geospatial information. If you can find a location, landmark, landform, stationary object, etc., on a satellite photo or road map, you can easily get its coordinates from Google Earth.
template:mapxy Converts lat and lon to xy values from top-left corner of a mapframe in which latbase and lonbase are the centre of the map, returning the bare value of x or y as pixel coordinates. Takes 8 essential parameters: un-named x or y, plus 7 named ones: lat, lon, latbase, lonbase, width, height, zoom
[[Category:Location map templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add <noinclude>[[Category:Location map templates]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.
