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

• {{Location map|USA Minnesota |...}}
• {{Location map many|USA Minnesota |...}}
• {{Location map+|USA Minnesota |...}}
• {{Location map~|USA Minnesota |...}}

Map definition

• name = Minnesota

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = USA Minnesota location map.svg

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

• image1 = USA Minnesota relief location map.svg

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

• top = 49.6

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = 43.3

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = -97.4

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = -89.3

  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
