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":

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:

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Ottawa is located in Canada
Ottawa
Ottawa
Ottawa (Canada)
{{Location map | Canada
| width   = 250
| lat_deg = 45.42
| lon_deg = -75.7
| label   = Ottawa
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

Location map/data/Canada/doc is located in Canada
Ottawa
Ottawa
Vancouver
Vancouver
Two locations in Canada
{{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
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

Ottawa
Ottawa
Vancouver
Vancouver
Two locations in Canada
{{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
