Module:Location map/data/Egypt

Module:Location map/data/Egypt is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Egypt. 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 "Egypt":

• {{Location map|Egypt |...}}
• {{Location map many|Egypt |...}}
• {{Location map+|Egypt |...}}
• {{Location map~|Egypt |...}}

• name = Egypt

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Egypt adm location map.svg

  The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"

• image1 = Egypt relief location map.jpg

  An alternative map image, usually a relief map, which can be displayed via the relieforAlternativeMap parameters

• top = 32.1

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = 21.3

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = 24.2

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = 37.3

  Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

The {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}}, and {{Location map+}} templates have parameters to specify an alternative map image. The map displayed as image1 can be used with the relieforAlternativeMap parameters. Examples may be found below or in the following:

• Template:Location map#Relief parameter
• Template:Location map+/relief
• Template:Location map#AlternativeMap parameter
• Template:Location map+/AlternativeMap
