Map image files are not accessed directly but by using an auxiliary map definition. For example, if the first unnamed parameter supplied to this template is "Japan", then this template uses the entry for Japan in Module:Location map/data/Japan if it exists, or {{Location map Japan}} otherwise, one of which contains the data needed to generate the composite image.
- Please note
- Assigning any value to the parameter
captioncauses the map to be displayed as a thumbnail image. If this parameter is not declared, the template will generate a default caption. - The coordinates are not checked. If the coordinates specified fall outside the area covered by the map image, the location mark will not display inside the image, however, it may be displayed somewhere else on the page.
- Do not use
px. Usingwidth=200pxwill usually cause a very large map to be displayed. Usewidth=200. - To create a map with more than one location mark use {{Location map+}} or {{Location map many}}.
