Template:Location map GermanyWeser is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on a map of Germany's Weser River. It is used by "Template:Location map" when invoked with parameter "GermanyWeser": {{Location map | GermanyWeser | ...}}. 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".

Example labeling "Bremen":
- {{Location map
- | GermanyWeser
- | label = Bremen
- | label_size = 90 <--percent 0-900%
- | caption = Show "Bremen" on map
- | lat=53.075
- | long=8.8071
- | background = #FFFF99
- | float = right
- | width = 250
- }}

Example for orange "Bad Hersfeld" at bottom:
- {{Location map
- | GermanyWeser
- | label=Bad Hersfeld | position=left
- | label_size = 90 <--percent 0-900%
- | caption = Show "Bad Hersfeld" on map
- | lat=50.8689 | long=9.7072
- | background = <!--orange-->#FFCC66
- | float = right
- | width = 220
- | AlternativeMap = <!--none(default)-->
- }}
Two examples, showing "Fulda" & "Bremerhaven" with map position aligned (by using parameters "float=left" and "float=right"). Note that the marker for "Bremerhaven" 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/GermanyWeser" 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 Bremerhaven/Wolfsburg
Example showing "Bremerhaven" (and "Wolfsburg") on one map.
- {{Location map skew | GermanyWeser
- | Show "Bremerhaven" & "Wolfsburg"
- | skew=0.91
- | label = Bremerhaven
- | label_size = <!-- 0-900%--> 84
- | lat=53.54 | long=8.57
- | marksize=7 | position=top
- | background = <!--gold-->#CCCC11
- | label2 = Wolfsburg | label2_size=103
- | skew2=0.91
- | lat2=52.4267 | pos2=left
- | long2=10.7893
- | bg2 = <!--bluegreen-->#66BBDD
- | label3 = Anytown
- | label3_size=93 | pos3=top
- | lat3_deg=51 | lat3_min=1.1
- | lon3_deg=11 | lon3_min=0.0
- | bg3 = <!--yellow-->#EEEE11
- | float = right | width = 230
- }}
The map uses alternate Template:Location_map_skew.
Note that the marker for "Bremerhaven" has been placed correctly now (had been west of the mark, due to narrow longitudes far north, on the non-equirectangular map).

Example labeling "Bremen" on wrong-scale map:
- {{Location map
- | GermanyWeser
- | label = Bremen | position = top
- | label_size = <!-- 0-900%--> 128
- | caption = "Bremen" put on wrong-scale map
- | lat =53.0750
- | long=8.8071
- | background = #FFFF99
- | float = right
- | width = 200
