[edit] Summary
| Description |
Map of Germany, extended from CIA World Fact Book, showing largest cities, islands and river names. Large city names (10) have been re-labeled with font-face Arial or Arial Narrow, as font-size 9 or 10; the island/region names are labeled in italic font. Germany contains over 2,500 cities/towns, but they are evenly dispersed around the main towns. This map has locator code "GermanyCIAx" for use in map-locator templates, such as English Wiki Template:Location_map_GermanyCIAx & Template:Location_map_skew (which skews northern coordinates for multiple map markers / labels). The latitude/longitude coordinates are NOT equirectangular, but rather, narrow towards the north, with longitudes about 9% closer together at the top. The original map image was public domain; the extensions are as follows:

[edit] Format
This file is purposely maintained in GIF format (most international GIF-related patents have expired) for compatibility with the original CIA maps. Semi-automatic conversions to PNG-format might lose the color hues of the CIA maps, tending to shift to lighter blue and shift beige to white. A larger, detailed version of the map is being expanded, with more of the smaller 2,500 towns added.
