Aim – This project aims to draw hi-resolution, vector maps for India-related articles. It also aims to get hi-resolution raster (.png) topography images. mastan
Scope – NPOV maps related to India (post-1947) and historical pre-Independence India (includes the South Asian nations of Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Bhutan). The secondary goal would be to get NPOV maps for Pakistan, PRC, Afghanistan and Bhutan since they border disputed territories of India.
The project is divided into locator maps, general maps and city maps.
Locator maps are used to show the location of a city, town, state or particular area within India. It is also used to show the location of a district, division or region in a map of a state
Non-locator maps. Maps of this type incude rivers, ancient kingdoms, crop-related etc.
Maps of cities. See the featured image of Manila alongside for reference: rama nathapuram [1]
These maps depict the topography of a region. See User:Captain Blood/GMT Example for an example.
These maps show demographic information using colors.
for more and updated information about indian census or maps
Locator maps for cities are automatically added when the Infobox Indian Jurisdiction is used and latitude and logitude parameters are provided. If a locator map needs to be added to a section in an article, then use Location map template. Find below some examples.
{{Location map|India

| Style | Used for | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| Thick line | Primary borders | Use a thick line for the primary (usually political) borders on a map. If the map primarily depicts a country, use a thick line for the country borders; if a state, the state borders. |
| Thin line | Secondary borders | Use a thin line (approximately 1/2 the thickness of the primary borders) for secondary boundaries. If a state map shows counties, use a thin line for county borders. |
| Italic font | Bodies of water | Use an italicized font for labelling bodies of water: oceans, lakes, rivers, etc. |
| All-caps font | Primary regions | Use a font in all-capital letters for labelling primary regions of interest: country names, state names, etc. |
| Mixed case font | Secondary regions | Use mixed case (capital followed by lowercase) for regions of secondary interest: provinces in a country map, counties in a state map, etc. |
Use only Sans serif-type fonts in the maps.
| Scheme | Case | Font | Size | Tracking | Opacity | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Union territory | Normal | Bold | 30/24 | 0 | 35 | |
| National capital | UPPERCASE | Bold Italic | 24 | -25 | 100 | |
