{{Location map+}} places one or more location marks on a map, with optional labels. It is in the same family of templates as the Location map template and the documentation for that template might be helpful.

Template:Location map+ uses a helper template, {{Location map~}}, one or more times to generate a mark for each location.

Usage

Main template (one per map)	Helper template (one per location to be marked)
	Multi-line style
{{Location map+ | {{{1}}} | width = | float = | border = | caption = | alt = | maplink = | relief = | AlternativeMap = | overlay_image = | places = }}
	{{Location map~ | {{{1}}} | label = | label_size = | label_width = | position = | background = | mark = | marksize = | link = | lat_deg = | lon_deg = }}	{{Location map~ | {{{1}}} | label = | label_size = | label_width = | position = | background = | mark = | marksize = | link = | lat_deg = | lat_min = | lat_sec = | lat_dir = | lon_deg = | lon_min = | lon_sec = | lon_dir = }}	{{Location map~ | {{{1}}} | label = | label_size = | label_width = | position = | background = | mark = | marksize = | link = | coordinates = }}
	Single-line style
	{{Location map~ |{{{1}}} |label_size= |label_width= |background= |marksize= |mark= |lat_deg= |lon_deg= |position= |label= |link=}} {{Location map~ |{{{1}}} |label_size= |label_width= |background= |marksize= |mark= |lat_deg= |lat_min= |lat_sec= |lat_dir= |lon_deg= |lon_min= |lon_sec= |lon_dir= |position= |label= |link=}} {{Location map~ |{{{1}}} |label_size= |label_width= |background= |marksize= |mark= |coordinates= |position= |label= |link=}} Note: in single-line style, parameters order is chosen so that it's easier to maintain vertical alignment in subsequent {{Location map~}} calls (which improves wikicode readability). Parameters that are rarely given values, or those whose values (usually) have constant or only slightly varying lengths (in characters), are placed first; parameters whose values frequently have very different lengths are placed last. See an example below (note the alignment of |marksize= and |position= parameters in the wiki mark-up).

Parameters

Parameters for Location map+

Parameter	Description
{{{1}}}	Required. Use the name of the map as the first unnamed parameter. For example, specifying England will use the values for England in Module:Location map/data/England if it exists, or {{Location map England}} otherwise. See the examples below or all subpages.
width	Determines the width of the map in pixels, overriding any default values. Do not include px: for example, use width=300, not width=300px.
default_width	Determines the default width of the map in pixels, intended for use by templates e.g. place infoboxes. The default value is 240. Do not include px. This value will be multiplied by the defaultscale parameter specified in individual map templates, if it exists, in order to achieve an appropriate size for vertical maps. For example, if default_width=200 is given, a map of Thailand will be displayed with a width of 200×0.57 = 114 pixels (as specified in Module:Location map/data/Thailand).
float	Specifies the position of the map on the page. Valid values are left, right, center and none. The default is right.
border	Specifies the color of the 1px map border. The default is lightgrey (see web colors). If set to none, no border will be generated. This parameter is seldom used. Special value: infobox.
caption	The text of a caption to be displayed below the map. Specifying a caption will cause the map to be displayed with a frame. If caption is defined but is not assigned a value, the map will not be framed and no caption will be displayed. If caption is not defined, the map will not be framed and a default caption will be generated. The default caption is created from the label parameter (or the current page name if label not defined) and the name parameter from map definition template. See the examples below.
alt	Alt text for map; used by screen readers, see WP:ALT.
maplink	Specifies a wiki link that will be followed when clicking the map, by default to the map source file. Can be deactivated with maplink =, which can be useful to avoid mis-clicks if there are links associated with markers and labels.
relief	Any non-blank value (1, yes, etc.) will cause the template to display the map specified in the map definition template as image1, which is usually a relief map. See the example at Location map+/relief. Other numerical values such as 2 or 3 will display image2 or image3, if those images are defined.
AlternativeMap	Allows the use of an alternative map. The image must have the same edge coordinates as the location map template. See the example at Location map+/AlternativeMap.
overlay_image	Allows an overlay to be superimposed on the map. This parameter is seldom used. See the example at Location map+/overlay.
places	Specifies one or more place markers using {{Location map~}}.

Parameters for Location map~

Parameter	Description
{{{1}}}	Required. Use the name of the map as the first unnamed parameter. For example, specifying England will use the values for England in Module:Location map/data/England if it exists, or {{Location map England}} otherwise. See the examples below.
Label
label	The text of the label to display next to the mark. A wiki link can be used. The default if not specified is no label, just the marker. Do not use <div>...</div> tags to attempt to position the label; use |label_size= and |position= instead.
label_size	The font size to use for the label, given as a percentage of the label's (already reduced) normal font size (<100 = smaller, >100 = larger). The default is 91; obey MOS:FONTSIZE if setting to a lower value. Do not include %: for example, use label_size=95, not label_size=95%. If set to 0, the label is displayed only when the user hovers over the mark.
label_width	The width to use for the label, given as an em size; the default width is 6. Do not include em: for example, use |label_width=7, not |label_width=7em.
position	The position of the label relative to the mark. Valid values are left, right, top and bottom. The default is right.
background	The background color to use for the label. See Web colors. The default is no background color, which shows the map image behind the label.
Mark
mark	The name of an image to display as the mark. The default is Red pog.svg (). More mark images are available, in particular, at Commons:Location markers and Commons:Category:Map icons.
marksize	The size of the mark in pixels. The default is 8. Do not include px: for example, use marksize=10, not marksize=10px.
link	Specifies a wiki link which will be followed if the reader clicks on the mark. Do not include [[]]: for example, use link=Yellowstone National Park, not link=[[Yellowstone National Park]].
Coordinates
lat_deg	Usual	Required. The degrees of latitude, using decimal degrees. Logically, use negative number for southern latitude.
lon_deg		Required. The degrees of longitude, using decimal degrees. Logically, use negative number for western longitude.
lat_deg	Detailed	Required. The degrees of latitude. The minutes and, probably, the seconds must be specified.
lat_min		The minutes of latitude. The sign should match that of lat_deg.
lat_sec		The seconds of latitude. Usually not necessary. The sign should match that of lat_deg.
lat_dir		N if north (default value) or S for south of the Equator. Other values will be disregarded.
lon_deg		Required. The degrees of longitude. The minutes and, probably, the seconds must be specified.
lon_min		The minutes of longitude. The sign should match that of lon_deg.
lon_sec		The seconds of longitude. Usually not necessary. The sign should match that of lon_deg.
lon_dir		E for east (default value) or W for west of the Prime Meridian. Other values will be disregarded.
coordinates	Alternative	The coordinates using {{Coord}} template, e.g. {{coord|48.067|-2.863}}.

Notes:

Available maps

Location maps can be found using these sources:

Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/ - checked before a map template is searched for. New maps should be created here rather than creating new templates.

List of templates - 1050 templates were available when the list was generated.

Category:Location map modules - templates sorted by category.

Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info - a search that might help.

Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map - another search that might help.

Examples

This example does not designate the caption parameter. It demonstrates the use of the defaults. Notice that the default caption is the page name followed by the map name in parenthesis and that the label position is automatically adjusted if it is too close to an edge.

Sydney

Melbourne

Washington County Labelled Map (Australia)

{{Location map+ | Australia
| places =
  {{Location map~ | Australia
    | label = Sydney
    | lat_deg = -33.86
    | lon_deg = 151.21 }}
  {{Location map~ | Australia
    | label = Melbourne
    | coordinates = {{coord|-37.81|144.96}}
  }}
}}
}}

This example uses a designated but empty caption. It demonstrates coordinates using decimal degrees, a 10px mark with a link, and {{Location map~}} entries listed in single-line style.

Paris

Marseille

{{Location map+ | France
| caption =
| places =
  {{Location map~ |France |marksize=10 |lat_deg=48.8567 |lon_deg=2.3508 |position=top    |label=Paris     |link=Paris    }}
  {{Location map~ |France |marksize= 9 |lat_deg=43.2964 |lon_deg=5.3610 |position=bottom |label=Marseille |link=Marseille}}
}}

This example uses caption with an assigned value. It demonstrates coordinates in degree, minute, second format, a relief map, label background color and linked labels.

New York

San Francisco

class=notpageimage|

Some cites in the United States

{{Location map+ | USA
| width = 300
| caption = Some cites in the United States
| relief = 1
| places =
  {{Location map~ | USA
    | label = [[New York City|New York]]
    | position =
    | background = white
    | mark = Cyan pog.svg
    | alt = alt text for New York City
    | link = New York City
    | lat_deg = 40 | lat_min = 43 | lat_dir = N
    | lon_deg = 74 | lon_min = 0  | lon_dir = W
  }}
  {{Location map~| USA
    | label = [[San Francisco]]
    | position =
    | background = white
    | mark = Purple pog.svg
    | alt = alt text for San Francisco
    | link = San Francisco
    | lat_deg = 37  | lat_min = 46 | lat_dir = N
    | lon_deg = 122 | lon_min = 25 | lon_dir = W
  }}
}}
