Map of France

Module:Location map/data/France is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of France. 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 "France":

• {{Location map | France | ...}}
• {{Location map many | France | ...}}
• {{Location map+ | France | ...}}
• {{Location map~ | France | ...}}

Map definition

• name = France

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = France location map-Regions and departements-2016.svg

  The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"

• image1 = France relief location map.jpg

  An alternative map image, usually a relief map, can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters

• top = 51.5

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = 41

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = -5.8

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = 10

  Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Alternative map

The map defined as image1 (France relief location map.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:

• Template:Location map#Relief parameter
• Template:Location map#AlternativeMap parameter
• Template:Location map+/relief
• Template:Location map+/AlternativeMap

Precision

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 15.8 degrees.
