This is the documentation page for Module:Location map/data/Germany Neckar

Template:Location map GermanyNeckar is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on a map of Germany's Neckar River. It is used by "Template:Location map" when invoked with parameter "GermanyNeckar": {{Location map | GermanyNeckar | ...}}. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.

Because the map is not equirectangular, the coordinates will need to be adjusted to match northern-area mapping, or use skewed coordinates with "Template:Location map skew".

Map parameters
name Template:Location map/data/Germany Neckar name used in default map caption
image Template:Location map/data/Germany Neckar file name of map image, without "Image:" or "File:"
top Template:Location map/data/Germany Neckar latitude at top of map
bottom Template:Location map/data/Germany Neckar latitude at bottom of map
left Template:Location map/data/Germany Neckar longitude at left edge of map
right Template:Location map/data/Germany Neckar longitude at right edge of map
skew Template:Location map/data/Germany Neckar to narrow longitudes; see {{Location map skew}}

Usage

For a description of the parameters, see {{Location map}} and {{Location map skew}}.

Lua error in Module:Location_map at line 501: Unable to find the specified location map definition: "Module:Location map/data/GermanyNeckar" does not exist. Example labeling "Heilbronn":

{{Location map
| GermanyNeckar
| label = Heilbronn
| label_size = 90 <--percent 0-900%
| caption = Show "Heilbronn" on map
| lat_deg = 49 | lat_min = 9
| lon_deg = 09 | lon_min = 13
| background = #FFFF99
| float = right
| width = 250
}}


Lua error in Module:Location_map at line 501: Unable to find the specified location map definition: "Module:Location map/data/GermanyNeckar" does not exist. Example for orange "Rottweil" at bottom:

{{Location map
| GermanyNeckar
| label=Rottweil | position=left
| label_size = 90 <--percent 0-900%
| caption = Show "Rottweil" on map
| lat_deg=48 | lat_min=10
| lon_deg=08 | lon_min=37
| background = <!--orange-->#FFCC66
| float = right
| width = 220
| AlternativeMap = <!--none(default)-->
}}

Two examples, showing "Rottweil" & "Mannheim" with map position aligned (by using parameters "float=left" and "float=right"). Note that the marker for "Mannheim" is west of the mark, due to narrow longitudes far north (on non-equirectangular map).

Lua error in Module:Location_map at line 501: Unable to find the specified location map definition: "Module:Location map/data/GermanyNeckar" does not exist. Longitude lines converge to the center, so center towns would be positioned more accurately. The "polar" skew factor should be used (as in Template:Location_map_skew) to scale longitude smaller near polar latitudes (relative to map height), and position longitudes from map center, rather than left-side base longitude (see example below).


Example skewing Rottweil/Mannheim

Example showing "Rottweil" (and "Mannheim") on one map.

Template:Location map skew

{{Location map skew | GermanyNeckar
| Show "Mannheim" & "Rottweil"
| skew=0.86
| label = Mannheim
| label_size = <!-- 0-900%--> 82
| lat=49.489 | long=8.469
| marksize=7 | position=top
| bg = <!--gold-->#CCCC11
| label2=Rottweil | label2_size=103
| skew2=0.86 | pos2=bottom
| lat2_deg=48 |lat2_min=10
| lon2_deg=08 |lon2_min=37.5
| bg2 = <!--bluegreen-->#66BBDD
| label3 = Anytown
| label3_size=93 | pos3=top
| lat3_deg=49 | lat3_min=1.1
| lon3_deg=8.5 | lon3_min=0.0
| bg3 = <!--yellow-->#EEEE11
| float = right | width = 250
}}

The map uses alternate Template:Location_map_skew. Note that the marker for "Mannheim" has been placed correctly now (had been west of the mark, due to narrow longitudes far north, on the non-equirectangular map).
