Map of South Africa

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

Map definition

  • name = South Africa
    Name used in the default map caption
  • bottom = -35.2
    Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • left = 16
    Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • right = 33.2
    Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Alternative map

The map defined as image1 (South Africa relief location map.svg) 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:

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

 
 
Pretoria
Pretoria (South Africa)
{{Location map | South Africa
| width   = 250
| lat_deg = -25.75
| lon_deg = 28.19
| label   = Pretoria
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

 
 
Pretoria
 
Cape Town
Two locations in South Africa
{{Location map many | South Africa
| relief   = yes
| width    = 250
| caption  = Two locations in South Africa
| lat1_deg = -25.75
| lon1_deg = 28.19
| label1   = Pretoria
| lat2_deg = -33.93
| lon2_deg = 18.42
| label2   = Cape Town
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

 
 
Pretoria
 
Cape Town
Two locations in South Africa
{{Location map+ | South Africa
| AlternativeMap = South Africa relief location map.svg
| width   = 250
| caption = Two locations in South Africa
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | South Africa
  | lat_deg = -25.75
  | lon_deg = 28.19
