This helper template provides a way to display a map in an Infobox. Optionally a location marker can be included.

Parameter descriptions

سمول
Field name Description
map The name of the map to be displayed. This is the only required parameter.
map_width The width of the map image to be displayed. For example, map_width=220 and not map_width=220px.
default_width When this template is used in another template, e.g. an infobox, the default width of the map image preferred by the infobox should be specified here. For example, map_width=220. When used with location maps, this value may be modified by a certain value if specified in the location map template. The default value is 220px.
relief Selects a relief map when assigned any value. This only works when the geographical coordinates method is used and then only for a few maps. See Map display methods.
map_alt Alt text for the map. A visually impaired reader who uses a screen reader will have access to this text. See WP:ALT.
map_caption The caption that appears below the map if one is required.
mark The image file that will be used to mark the location on the map. The default is Red pog.svg. See below.
mark_width The width of the marker image to be displayed. For example, mark_width=8 and not mark_width=8px. The default width is 8px.
label A text message that will be displayed next to the marker.
label_position The position of a label with respect to the marker. Valid values are left, right, top, bottom and none.
background The background color for the label. If no value is assigned the background will be transparent. See Web colors.
coordinates The coordinates of the location in {{Coord}} format. While not recommended, if you want to waste time you can also enter them in decimal degrees (e.g. 48.067°N 12.863°E). You shouldn't need to, though.
lat
long
Specifies the latitude and longitude of the location when the geographical coordinates method is used. This value may be specified as a signed decimal degree.
lat_deg
lat_min
lat_sec
lat_dir

lon_deg
lon_min
lon_sec
lon_dir

Specifies the latitude and longitude of the location when the geographical coordinates method is used. This value may be specified in dms+hemisphere format.

Map display methods

سمول

There are two methods which can display a map. These examples use {{Infobox park}} which uses this template as a back end.

Display a marker on a map using a template and geographic coordinates

سمول

A marker can be superimposed on a map using one of a set of special map templates. To display a marker, the geographic coordinates must be specified using the {{Coord}} template inside the |coordinates= parameter. See the documentation for {{Location map}}. The parameters for this template map to a subset of the parameters used by {{Location map}}. A map template can be found using these sources:

List of templates – Many of the listed items are redirects and a few templates may not function as expected.
Category:Location map templates - templates sorted by category.
Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info – a search that might help.
Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/ – another search that might help.
Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map – another search that might help.

All of the names begin with the words "Location map" followed by the area covered. The value you need to specify is the area name. The map template for Canada is Location map/data/Canada. In this case specify |map=Canada.

کينډۍ:Infobox park

{{Infobox park
| name = Four Corners, Canada
| map = Canada
| map_caption = Example using geographic coordinates
| coordinates = {{coord|60|N|102|W|display=inline <!-- for documentation page only - not general practice --> }}
}}

By default, {{Coord}} displays in the infobox only in the page title. Parameter |display=inline,title can be added to make the coordinates display at the top of the page as well.

Legacy parameters

سمول

Although deprecated in infoboxes in August 2016, it is still possible in this template to use the |lat_d=, |lat_m=, |lat_s=, |lat_NS=, |long_d=, |long_m=, |long_s= and |long_NS= parameters (for latitude degrees, minutes, seconds and direction; and longitude degrees, minutes, seconds and direction respectively).

Display any image

سمول

An image can be displayed without a location mark.

Average regional brazil nut output (kg/ha)
A world map showing regions that produce Brazil nuts.
A world map showing regions that produce Brazil nuts.
{{Infobox
| above =
| image2 = {{Infobox map
           | map         = Braziloutput.png
           | map_alt     = A world map showing regions that produce Brazil nuts.
           | map_caption =
           | map_width   = 200
           }}
}}

A mark can be any image file. The default mark is Red pog.svg and it works well because it is easy to pick up visually on most maps. Some examples are below. Click on an image to see the file description page.

See Location markers for other examples. Currently, using mark_width=n for n > 8 is not advised when a label is specified.

Geographical coordinates

سمول

The template {{Infobox coord}} can be used to display coordinates entered using the method discussed above.
