[edit] Creating new maps
- Find an appropriate blank map in an orthographic projection.
- Create a template named Template:Location map location (copy the content of any other map template into it and enter appropriate values).
[edit] Issues
Doesn't handle longitude properly for maps crossing the +/- 180 meridian yet.
For coordinates with western longitude don't forget the minus sign!
example: {{Location map marker|Westernland|label=Westerntown|lat=46.05|long=-14.5}}
