Map of Australia

Template:Location map Australia is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Australia. 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 "Australia":

• {{Location map|Australia |...}}
• {{Location map+|Australia |...}}
• {{Location map~|Australia |...}}

Map definition

• name = Australia

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Australia location map.svg

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

• image1 = Australia relief map.jpg

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

• top = -9

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = -44.5

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = 111.5

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = 155

  Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Alternative map

The map defined as image1 (Australia relief map.jpg) can be displayed by using the relief or AlternativeMap parameters in {{Location map}} and {{Location map+}}. The use of these two parameters is shown in the examples below.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Canberra

Canberra (Australia)

{{Location map | Australia
| width   = 200
| lat_deg = -35.31
| lon_deg = 149.12
| label   = Canberra
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

Canberra

Perth

Two locations in Australia

{{Location map+ | Australia
| AlternativeMap = Australia relief map.jpg
| width   = 200
| caption = Two locations in Australia
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Australia
  | lat_deg = -35.31
  | lon_deg = 149.12
  | label   = Canberra
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Australia
  | lat_deg = -31.95
  | lon_deg = 149.12
  | label   = Perth
  }}
}}
