Module:Location map/data/Earth is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Earth. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.

Usage

These definitions are used by the following templates when invoked with parameter "Earth":

Map definition

  • name = Earth
    Name used in the default map caption
  • bottom = -90
    Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • left = -180
    Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • right = 180
    Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Alternative map

The map defined as image1 (Earthmap1000x500compac.jpg) can be displayed by using the relief or AlternativeMap parameters in {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}} and {{Location map+}}. The use of these two parameters is shown in the examples below. Additional examples can be found at:

Precision

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 0 degrees.

  • At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0 degrees per pixel.
  • At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0 degrees per pixel.

Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 180 degrees.

  • At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.9 degrees per pixel.
  • At an image height of 1000 pixels, that is 0.18 degrees per pixel.
