Map of the Philippines

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

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

Map definition

• name = Philippines

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Philippines location map (square).svg

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

• image1 = Philippines relief location map (square).svg

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

• top = 21.2

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = 4.3

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = 114

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = 131.2

  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

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

{{Location map | Philippines
| width   = 250
| lat_deg = 14.58
| lon_deg = 120.97
| label   = Manila
}}

Template:Clear

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

{{Location map many | Philippines
| relief   = yes
| width    = 250
| caption  = Two locations in the Philippines
| lat1_deg = 14.58
| lon1_deg = 120.97
| label1   = Manila
| lat2_deg = 6.052
| lon2_deg = 121.002
| label2   = Jolo
}}

Template:Clear

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

{{Location map+ | Philippines
| AlternativeMap = Philippines relief location map.jpg
| width   = 250
| caption = Two locations in the Philippines
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Philippines
  | lat_deg = 14.58
  | lon_deg = 120.97
  | label   = Manila
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Philippines
  | lat_deg = 6.052
  | lon_deg = 121.002
  | label   = Jolo
  }}
}}
