Map display method

A marker can be superimposed on a map using one of a set of map templates. This method requires the geographic coordinates to be entered using the parameters below and assigning map the name of the area covered by one of a set of location map templates. The parameters for this template map to a subset of the parameters for {{Location map}} and reading the documentation for that template might be helpful.

The coordinates and related information must be entered using the of parameters below. This information is the same as that used by the {{coord}} template.

Parameter	Definition
map	Name of location map template. For example, specify France to use the values in Module:Location map/data/France. See Template:Location map#Available map templates.
map_width	Width to display the map image. Default is 250, maximum is 264. For example, map_width=220 (not map_width=220px).
relief	Any non-blank value (yes, 1, etc.) will cause the template to display a relief map image, where available. For additional information, see Template:Location map#Relief parameter.
map_alt	Alternative text for the map image, see WP:ALT.
map_caption	Text displayed below the map image, if required.
mark	The image to use for the marker. The default is Red pog.svg. See Template:Location map for more information.
marker_width	The display width of the marker image in pixels. Default = 8.
label	Text that will be displayed next to the marker. Works with label_position below. Seldom used.
label_position	Specifies the position of a label with respect to the marker. Valid values are left, right, top and bottom. See label above.
The parameters below are used to enter the data that can be entered in {{Coord}}.
coordinates	The latitude and longitude. Use the {{Coord}} template.
coords_ref	Used with either coordinate display method above. Strongly recommended. Specify a citation for the coordinates using <ref>...</ref> tags.

Location map templates can be found using these sources:

List of templates - 1050 templates available when the list was generated.

Category:Location map templates - templates sorted by category.

Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map - a search that might help.

Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info - another search that might help.

The value you need to assign to the parameter, map, is the area name. The location map for France is Module:Location map/data/France. In this case specify map=France.
