Map of Canada

Module:Location map/data/Canada is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on a Lambert conformal conic projection map of Canada. 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 "Canada":

• Template:Tlx
• Template:Tlx
• Template:Tlx
• Template:Tlx

Map definition

• name = Canada

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Canada location map 2.svg

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

• image1 = Canada relief map 2.svg

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

• x = 201.7818903*(((tan(pi*(90-$1)/360))*(((1+0.08181919084*sin(pi*$1/180))/(1-0.08181919084*sin(pi*$1/180)))^0.04090959542))^0.9007900864)*sin(0.01572175288*($2+95))+43.98563734

  An expression to calculate a location on the map via its longitude; evaluates as 0 along the left edge and 100 along the right edge

• y = 238.6252927*(((tan(pi*(90-$1)/360))*(((1+0.08181919084*sin(pi*$1/180))/(1-0.08181919084*sin(pi*$1/180)))^0.04090959542))^0.9007900864)*cos(0.01572175288*($2+95))-15.81495465

  An expression to calculate a location on the map via its latitude; evaluates as 0 along the top edge and 100 along the bottom edge

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 relief or AlternativeMap 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

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

{{Location map | Canada
| width   = 250
| lat_deg = 45.42
| lon_deg = -75.7
| label   = Ottawa
}}

Template:Clear

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

{{Location map many | Canada
| relief   = yes
| width    = 250
| caption  = Two locations in Canada
| lat1_deg = 45.42
| lon1_deg = -75.7
| label1   = Ottawa
| lat2_deg = 49.25
| lon2_deg = -123.1
| label2   = Vancouver
}}

Template:Clear

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

{{Location map+ | Canada
| AlternativeMap = Canada_blank_map.svg
| width   = 250
| caption = Two locations in Canada
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Canada
  | lat_deg = 45.42
  | lon_deg = -75.7
  | label   = Ottawa
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Canada
  | lat_deg = 49.25
  | lon_deg = -123.1
  | label   = Vancouver
  }}
}}
