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

Map definition

  • name = North America
    Name used in the default map caption
  • image = North_America_laea_location map.svg
    The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"
  • image1 = North America laea relief location map with borders.jpg
    An alternative map image, usually a relief map, can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters
  • x = (69.398)*( cos( $1*0.01745329252 )*sin( ($2-(-100.0))*0.01745329252 ) ) * ( ((1 + sin( $1*0.01745329252 )*sin( 47.5*0.01745329252 ) + cos( $1*0.01745329252 )*cos( 47.5*0.01745329252 )*cos( ($2-(-100.0))*0.01745329252 ) ) *0.5)^ -0.5) - (-50.0)
    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 = (100 + (-50.0) ) - (68.9773)*( cos( 47.5*0.01745329252 )*sin( $1*0.01745329252 ) - sin( 47.5*0.01745329252 )*cos( $1*0.01745329252 )*cos( ($2-(-100.0))*0.01745329252 ) ) * ( ((1 + sin( $1*0.01745329252 )*sin( 47.5*0.01745329252 ) + cos( $1*0.01745329252 )*cos( 47.5*0.01745329252 )*cos( ($2-(-100.0))*0.01745329252 ) ) *0.5)^ -0.5)
    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 map defined as image1 (North America laea relief location map with borders.jpg) can be displayed by using the relief or AlternativeMap parameters in {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}} and {{Location map+}}. The use of these two parameters is shown in the examples below. Additional examples can be found at:
