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

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

Map definition

• name = Eritrea

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Eritrea adm location map.svg

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

• image1 = Eritrea physical map.svg

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

• top = 18.4

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = 12

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = 36

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = 43.8

  Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Alternative map

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

Precision

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 7.8 degrees.

• At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.039 degrees per pixel.
• At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0078 degrees per pixel.

Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 6.4 degrees.

• At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.032 degrees per pixel.
• At an image height of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0064 degrees per pixel.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Asmara

Asmara (Eritrea)

{{Location map | Eritrea
| width   = 250
| lat_deg = 15.33
| lon_deg = 38.93
| label   = Asmara
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

Asmara

{{Location map many | Eritrea
| relief   = yes
| width    = 250
| caption  = Two locations in Eritrea
| lat1_deg = 15.33
| lon1_deg = 38.93
| label1   = Asmara
| lat2_deg = 13.017
| lon2_deg = 42.733
| label2   = Assab
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

Asmara

{{Location map+ | Eritrea
| AlternativeMap = Eritrea physical map.svg
| width   = 250
| caption = Two locations in Eritrea
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Eritrea
  | lat_deg = 15.33
  | lon_deg = 38.93
  | label   = Asmara
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Eritrea
  | lat_deg = 13.017
  | lon_deg = 42.733
  | label   = Assab
  }}
}}
