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

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

Map definition

• name = Syria

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Syria adm location map.svg

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

• image1 = Syria physical location map.svg

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

• top = 37.6

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = 32

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = 34.9

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = 42.7

  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 5.6 degrees.

• At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.028 degrees per pixel.
• At an image height of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0056 degrees per pixel.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Damascus

Damascus (Syria)

{{Location map | Syria
| width   = 250
| lat_deg = 33.513
| lon_deg = 36.292
| label   = Damascus
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

Damascus

{{Location map many | Syria
| relief   = yes
| width    = 250
| caption  = Three locations in Syria
| lat1_deg = 33.513
| lon1_deg = 36.292
| label1   = Damascus
| lat2_deg = 36.217
| lon2_deg = 37.167
| label2   = Aleppo
| lat3_deg = 37.167
| lon3_deg = 42.133
| label3   = Al-Malikiyah
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

Damascus

{{Location map+ | Syria
| AlternativeMap = Syria physical location map.svg
| width   = 250
| caption = Three locations in Syria
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Syria
  | lat_deg = 33.513
  | lon_deg = 36.292
  | label   = Damascus
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Syria
  | lat_deg = 36.217
  | lon_deg = 37.167
  | label   = Aleppo
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Syria
  | lat_deg = 37.167
  | lon_deg = 42.133
