Template:Location map Africa is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on a Lambert azimuthal equal-area projection map of Africa. 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 "Africa":

Map definition

Alternative map

The map defined as image1 (Template:Location map/data/Africa) can be displayed by using the relief or AlternativeMap parameters in {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}} and {{Location map+}}. The map defined as image2 (Template:Location map/data/Africa) can only be displayed by using the AlternativeMap parameter. The use of these two parameters is shown in the examples below. Additional examples can be found at:

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

{{Location map | Africa
| width   = 200
| label   = Cairo
| lat_deg = 30.06
| lon_deg = 31.23
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

{{Location map many | Africa
| relief   = yes
| width    = 200
| caption  = Two locations in Africa
| label1   = Cairo
| lat1_deg = 30.06
| lon1_deg = 31.23
| label2   = Lagos
| lat2_deg = 6.45
| lon2_deg = 3.40
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

{{Location map+ | Africa
| AlternativeMap = Africa relief location map.jpg
| width   = 200
| caption = Two locations in Africa
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Africa
  | label   = Cairo
  | lat_deg = 30.06
  | lon_deg = 31.23
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Africa
  | label   = Lagos
  | lat_deg = 6.45
  | lon_deg = 3.40
  }}
}}
