SVG has advantages over PNG for creating world maps of arbitrary detail or zoom level, certain editing purposes, saving layers, and rescaling text, curves and lines. SVG is preferred: see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Maps.
A tiled web map, slippy map [1] (in OpenStreetMap terminology) or tile map is a map displayed in a web browser by seamlessly joining dozens of individually requested image or vector data files. It is the most popular way to display and navigate maps, replacing other methods such as Web Map Service (WMS) which typically display a single large ...
You may need to adjust the coordinates [nb 1] or zoom level in order for the map to display properly; here you can also add parameters for line width, color, etc. Then you can use the map data in Wikipedia articles, through {} using the parameter |from=COTA10.map, or manually, like seen here.
zoom – Set the zoom level, from "1" (map of earth) to "18" (maximum zoom in), to be used if the zoom level cannot be determined automatically from object length or area. Default: 10; length_km or length_mi or area_km2 or area_mi2 – Determine zoom level by passing in object's length (in kilometres or miles) or area (in square kilometres or ...
The 'Transport Map' layer, when sufficiently zoomed-in, shows routes and route numbers in red. Go to OpenStreetMap and zoom into the general area where the route runs. Switch to the "Transport Map" layer using the 'Layers' sidebar on the right. Now you should see all the transit routes highlighted on the map, with numbers indicating the route ...
Progressively higher zoom levels bring more place names onto the map, in the language/script of the wiki/user preference, where that is available. For some contexts it may be preferred to 'turn off' the place name labels, and use the mark/label options to provide such names as are wanted.
Location map templates as of 5 Nov 2014. To find the best location map template covering a given place, open the SVG file in a Web browser and use arrow keys and zoom function. Hovering over a region shows its name and highlights it. Clicking it loads its page. This is a list of all Location map templates as of July 22, 2021.
But, interactive maps have 19 zoom levels, so go ahead and show your data at any scale. Pushpin maps are limited to showing a dot. For a map of New York, you can't use a dot to accurately represent New York City, just as you can't use a dot on a U.S. map to represent New York or any other state – the scale is off.
