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}}.

Examples

Mannheim

The example on the left shows the correct placement of Mannheim when GermanyNeckar is used with {{Location map skew}}. The example on the right shows the incorrect placement via {{Location map}}.

Note that the marker for "Mannheim" is west of the mark, due to narrow longitudes far north (on non-equirectangular map). 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).

Multiple markers on one map

The example on the left shows the correct placement of locations when GermanyNeckar is used with {{Location map skew}}. The example on the right shows the incorrect placement via {{Location map many}}.

Rottweil on wrong map

The example on the left shows the correct placement of Rottweil on the default map image. The example on the right shows the incorrect placement when a map using different border coordinates is specified via the AlternativeMap parameter.
