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".

Usage
For a description of the parameters, see {{Location map}}.
Examples
Mannheim
The example on the left shows the correct placement of Mannheim when GermanyNeckar is used with {{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) 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).

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.
