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.
The coordinate format can be chosen via Tools → Options → 3D View → Show Lat/Long. There are many ways to obtain coordinates: Move the mouse pointer to where you want, then use the keyboard to select the Menu item Edit → Copy View Location to copy the coordinates to the clipboard. More convenient is the associated keyboard shortcut.
Allows 'OSM ExternalData elements' to be added to the map. This can be an administrative boundary, highway or other linear map element that has been assigned a wikidata Q value. (e.g.: map-data=Q83065 will add the city boundary of Leicester.) The map item needs to be on the same place as the map itself.
The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:" image1 = USA Tennessee relief location map.svg An alternative map image, usually a relief map, which can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters; top = 38.1 Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees; bottom = 33.6 Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees; left ...
An index map is a finding aid for a set of maps covering regions of interest along with a name or number of the relevant map sheet. It provides geospatial data on either a sheet of paper or a computer display , like a gazetteer , with the location (such as a call number) represented within a grid overlaying the map's surface.
A land parcel or cadastral parcel is defined as "a continuous area, or more appropriately volume, that is identified by a unique set of homogeneous property rights". [3] Cadastral surveys document the boundaries of land ownership, by the production of documents, diagrams, sketches, plans (plats in the US), charts, and maps. They were originally ...
Gott, Goldberg and Vanderbei’s double-sided disk map was designed to minimize all six types of map distortions. Not properly "a" map projection because it is on two surfaces instead of one, it consists of two hemispheric equidistant azimuthal projections back-to-back.

A projected coordinate system – also called a projected coordinate reference system, planar coordinate system, or grid reference system – is a type of spatial reference system that represents locations on Earth using Cartesian coordinates (x, y) on a planar surface created by a particular map projection.
