{{tl2|Location map+}} places one or more location marks on a map, with optional labels. It is in the same family of templates as the [[Template:Location map|Location map]] template and the documentation for that template might be helpful.

Template:Location map+ uses a helper template, {{tl2|Location map~}}, one or more times to generate a mark for each location.

'''Note''': in single-line style, parameters order is chosen so that it's easier to maintain vertical alignment in subsequent {{t|Location map~}} calls (which improves wikicode readability). Parameters that are rarely given values, or those whose values (usually) have constant or only slightly varying lengths (in characters), are placed first; parameters whose values frequently have very different lengths are placed last. See an [[#single-line Location map~|example]] below (note the alignment of {{para|marksize}} and {{para|position}} parameters in the wiki mark-up).

== Parameters ==
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|+ Parameters for Location map+
! Parameter
! Description
|-
| <code>{{{1}}}</code>
| Required. Use the name of the map as the first unnamed parameter. For example, specifying ''England'' will use the values for England in [[Module:Location map/data/England]] if it exists, or {{tld|Location map England}} otherwise. See the [[#Examples|examples]] below or [[Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location_map/data/|all subpages]].
|-
| <code>width</code>
| Determines the width of the map in [[pixel]]s, overriding any default values. Do not include <code>px</code>: for example, use <code>width=300</code>, not <code>width=300px</code>.
|-
| <code>default_width</code>
| Determines the default width of the map in pixels, intended for use by templates e.g. place infoboxes. The default value is 240. Do not include <code>px</code>. This value will be multiplied by the <code>defaultscale</code> parameter specified in individual map templates, if it exists, in order to achieve an appropriate size for vertical maps. For example, if <code>default_width=200</code> is given, a map of Thailand will be displayed with a width of 200×0.57&nbsp;= 114&nbsp;pixels (as specified in [[Module:Location map/data/Thailand]]).
|-
| <code>float</code>
| Specifies the position of the map on the page. Valid values are <code>left</code>, <code>right</code>, <code>center</code> and <code>none</code>. The default is <code>right</code>.
|-
| <code>border</code>
|  Specifies the color of the 1px map border. The default is ''lightgrey'' (see [[web colors]]). If set to <code>none</code>, no border will be generated. This parameter is seldom used.
|-
| <code>caption</code>
| The text of a caption to be displayed below the map. Specifying a caption will cause the map to be displayed with a frame. If <code>caption</code> is defined but is not assigned a value, the map will not be framed and no caption will be displayed. If <code>caption</code> is not defined, the map will not be framed and a default caption will be generated. The default caption is created from the <code>label</code> parameter (or the current page name if label not defined) and the <code>name</code> parameter from map definition template. See the [[#Examples|examples]] below.
|-
| <code>alt</code>
| Alt text for map; used by [[screen reader]]s, see [[WP:ALT]].
|-
| <code>relief</code>
| Any non-blank value (1, yes, etc.) will cause the template to display the map specified in the map definition template as <code>image1</code>, which is usually a [[Relief mapping (computer graphics)|relief map]]. See the example at [[Template:Location map+/relief|Location map+/relief]].
|-
| <code>AlternativeMap</code>
| Allows the use of an alternative map. The image must have the same edge coordinates as the location map template. See the example at [[Template:Location map+/AlternativeMap|Location map+/AlternativeMap]].
|-
| <code>overlay_image</code>
| Allows an overlay to be superimposed on the map. This parameter is seldom used. See the example at [[Template:Location map+/overlay|Location map+/overlay]].
|-
| <code>places</code>
| Specifies one or more place markers using {{tl|Location map~}}.
|}

{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
|+ Parameters for Location map~
! Parameter
! colspan="2" |Description
|-
| <code>{{{1}}}</code>
| colspan="2" |Required. Use the name of the map as the first unnamed parameter. For example, specifying ''England'' will use the values for England in [[Module:Location map/data/England]] if it exists, or {{tld|Location map England}} otherwise. See the [[#Examples|examples]] below.
|-
| colspan="3" |'''Label'''
|-
| <code>label</code>
| colspan="2" |The text of the label to display next to the mark. A [[Wiki markup|wiki link]] can be used. The default if not specified is no label, just the marker. {{red|Do not use {{tag|div}} tags to attempt to position the label; use {{para|label_size}} and {{para|position}} instead.}}
|-
| <code>label_size</code>
| colspan="2" |The font size to use for the label, given as a percentage of the label's (already reduced) normal font size (<100&nbsp;= smaller, >100&nbsp;= larger). The default is 91; obey [[MOS:FONTSIZE]] if setting to a lower value. Do not include <code>%</code>: for example, use <code>label_size=95</code>, not <code>label_size=95%</code>. If set to&nbsp;0, the label is displayed only when the user hovers over the mark.
|-
| <code>label_width</code>
| colspan="2" |The width to use for the label, given as an [[Em (typography)#CSS|em&nbsp;size]]; the default width is&nbsp;6. Do not include {{kbd|em}}: for example, use {{para|label_width|7}}, not {{para|label_width|7em}}.
|-
| <code>position</code>
| colspan="2" |The position of the label relative to the mark. Valid values are <code>left</code>, <code>right</code>, <code>top</code> and <code>bottom</code>. The default is <code>right</code>.
|-
| <code>background</code>
| colspan="2" |The background color to use for the label. See [[Web colors]]. The default is no background color, which shows the map image behind the label.
|-
| colspan="3" |'''Mark'''
|-
| <code>mark</code>
| colspan="2" |The name of an image to display as the mark. The default is [[:File:Red pog.svg|Red pog.svg]] ([[File:Red pog.svg|8px]]). More mark images are available, in particular, at [[Commons:Location markers]] and [[Commons:Category:Map icons]].
|-
| <code>marksize</code>
| colspan="2" |The size of the mark in [[pixel]]s. The default is&nbsp;8. Do not include <code>px</code>: for example, use <code>marksize=10</code>, not <code>marksize=10px</code>.
|-
| <code>link</code>
| colspan="2" |Specifies a [[Wiki markup|wiki link]] which will be followed if the reader clicks on the mark. Do not include <code>[[]]</code>: for example, use <code>link=Yellowstone National Park</code>, not <code>link=[&#91;Yellowstone National Park&#93;]</code>.
|-
| colspan="3" |'''Coordinates'''
|-
|<code>lat_deg</code>
| rowspan="2" |Usual
|Required. The degrees of [[latitude]], using [[decimal degrees]]. Logically, use negative number for southern latitude.
|-
|<code>lon_deg</code>
|Required. The degrees of [[longitude]], using decimal degrees. Logically, use negative number for western longitude.
|-
|<code>lat_deg</code>
| rowspan="8" |Detailed
| Required. The degrees of [[latitude]]. The minutes and, probably, the seconds must be specified.<ref group="Note" name="precision" />
|-
| <code>lat_min</code>

Notes:
{{Reflist
| group = Note
| refs =
<ref group=Note name="precision">Appropriate precision should be used. For example, the whole US map, with a 1000{{nbhyph}}pixel width, has a resolution of about 5&nbsp;km/pixel. Only 2 decimal places of precision in decimal degrees format (≈1&nbsp;km), or whole minutes (≈1.7&nbsp;km) in DMS format, are required.</ref>

== Available maps ==

Location maps can be found using these sources:

:[[Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/]] - checked before a map template is searched for. New maps should be created here rather than creating new templates.
:[[Template:Location map/List|List of templates]] - 1050 templates were available when the list was generated.
:[[:Category:Location map templates]] - templates sorted by category.
:[[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info]] - a search that might help.
:[[Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map]] - another search that might help.

== Examples ==

This example does not designate the <code>caption</code> parameter. It demonstrates the use of the defaults. Notice that the default caption is the page name followed by the map name in parenthesis and that the label position is automatically adjusted if it is too close to an edge.
