Template:Location map GermanyWeser

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Template:Location_map_GermanyWeser

This is a map locator for the Germany Weser River map, allowing a specified marker-image (parameter "mark=") of set size (defaults "marksize=8") plus an optional name-label to be placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map (or a given image).

This template is used by the parent "Template:Location map" which must be invoked with parameter "GermanyWeser" to process the options before it uses this template. Specify each of the individual parameters by using vertical bars: {{Location map | GermanyWeser | ...}}.

Because the map is not equirectangular, the coordinates will need to be adjusted to match northern-area mapping, or use skewed coordinates with "Template:Location map skew".

See: {{Location map}} for description of parameters, or Examples below.

Coordinates
Top	54.02
Bottom	50.0
Left	8.0
Right	12.05
skew	0.91

[edit] Examples

Example labeling "Bremen":

{{Location map

| GermanyWeser

| label = Bremen

| label_size = 90 <--percent 0-900%

| caption = Show "Bremen" on map

| lat=53.075

| long=8.8071

| background = #FFFF99

| float = right

| width = 250

}}

---

Example for orange "Bad Hersfeld" at bottom:

{{Location map

| GermanyWeser

| label=Bad Hersfeld | position=left

| label_size = 90 <--percent 0-900%

| caption = Show "Bad Hersfeld" on map

| lat=50.8689 | long=9.7072

| background = <!--orange-->#FFCC66

| float = right

| width = 220

| AlternativeMap = <!--none(default)-->

}}

---

Two examples, showing "Fulda" & "Bremerhaven" with map position aligned (by using parameters "float=left" and "float=right"). Note that the marker for "Bremerhaven" is west of the mark, due to narrow longitudes far north (on non-equirectangular map).

Longitude lines converge to the center, so center towns would be positioned more accurately. The "polar" skew factor should be used (as in Template:Location_map_skew) to scale longitude smaller near polar latitudes (relative to map height), and position longitudes from map center, rather than left-side base longitude (see example below).

[edit] Example skewing Bremerhaven/Wolfsburg

Example showing "Bremerhaven" (and "Wolfsburg") on one map.

{{Location map skew | GermanyWeser

| Show "Bremerhaven" & "Wolfsburg"

| skew=0.91

| label = Bremerhaven

| label_size = <!-- 0-900%--> 84

| lat=53.54 | long=8.57

| marksize=7 | position=top

| background = <!--gold-->#CCCC11

| label2 = Wolfsburg | label2_size=103

| skew2=0.91

| lat2=52.4267 | pos2=left

| long2=10.7893

| bg2 = <!--bluegreen-->#66BBDD

| label3 = Anytown

| label3_size=93 | pos3=top

| lat3_deg=51 | lat3_min=1.1

| lon3_deg=11 | lon3_min=0.0

| bg3 = <!--yellow-->#EEEE11

| float = right | width = 230

}}

The map uses alternate Template:Location_map_skew. Note that the marker for "Bremerhaven" has been placed correctly now (had been west of the mark, due to narrow longitudes far north, on the non-equirectangular map).

Example labeling "Bremen" on wrong-scale map:

{{Location map

| GermanyWeser

| label = Bremen | position = top

| label_size = <!-- 0-900%--> 128

| caption = "Bremen" put on wrong-scale map

| lat =53.0750

| long=8.8071

| background = #FFFF99

| float = right

| width = 200

| AlternativeMap = Karte Deutschland.png
