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

• {{Location map|Vancouver Island |...}}
• {{Location map many|Vancouver Island |...}}
• {{Location map+|Vancouver Island |...}}
• {{Location map~|Vancouver Island |...}}

Map definition

• name = Vancouver Island

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Canada Vancouver Island location map.svg

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

• image1 = Canada Vancouver Island relief map.jpg

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

• top = 51.2

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = 48

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = -128.6

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = -122.9

  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 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
