This template places one or more location marks on a map, with optional labels. It is in the same family of templates as the Location map template and the documentation for that template might be helpful.

This template uses a helper template, Location map~, one or more times to generate a mark for each location.

Parameters

Parameters for Location map+
Parameter Description
{{{1}}} Required. Use the name of the map as the first unnamed parameter. For example, specify England to use the values in {{Location map England}}. See the examples below.
width Determines the width of the map in پیکسلs. The default is 240. Do not include px, for example: width=300, not width=300px.
float Specifies the position of the map on the page. Valid values are left, right, center and none. The default is right.
border Specifies the color of the 1px map border. The default is lightgrey (see رنگ‌های وب). If set to none, no border will be generated. This parameter is seldom used.
caption The text of a caption to be displayed below the map. Specifying a caption will cause the map to be displayed with a frame. If caption is defined but is not assigned a value, the map will not be framed and no caption will be displayed. If caption is not defined, the map will not be framed and a default caption will be generated. The default caption is created from the label parameter (or the current page name if label not defined) and the name parameter from map definition template. See the examples below.
alt Alt text for map; used by صفحه‌خوانs, see WP:ALT.
relief Any non-blank value (1, yes, etc.) will cause the template to display the map specified in the map definition template as image1, which is usually a relief map. See the example at Location map+/relief.
AlternativeMap Allows the use of an alternative map. The image must have the same edge coordinates as the location map template. See the example at Location map+/AlternativeMap.
overlay_image Allows an overlay to be superimposed on the map. This parameter is seldom used. See the example at Location map+/overlay.
places Specifies one or more place markers using Location map~.
Parameters for Location map~
Parameter Description
{{{1}}} Required. Use the name of the map as the first unnamed parameter. For example, specify England to use the values in {{Location map England}}. See the examples below.
label The text of the label to display next to the mark. A ویکی‌متن can be used. The default if not specified is no label, just the marker.
label_size The font size to use for the label, given as a percentage of the normal font size (<100 = smaller, >100 = larger). The default is 90. Do not include %, for example: label_size=80, not label_size=80%.
position The position of the label relative to the mark. Valid values are left, right, top and bottom. The default is right.
background The background color to use for the label. See رنگ‌های وب. The default is no background color, which shows the map image behind the label.
mark The name of an image to display as the mark. The default is Red pog.svg (). See examples at Commons:Location markers and Commons:Category:Map icons.
marksize The size of the mark in پیکسلs. The default is 8. Do not include px, for example: marksize=10, not marksize=10px.
link Specifies a ویکی‌متن which will be followed if the reader clicks on the mark. The name of the linked article is displayed when the mouse pointer hovers over the mark.
lat_deg Required. The degrees of عرض جغرافیایی. This value can be specified using decimal degrees and when this format is used minutes and seconds should not be specified.[Note ۱]
lat_min The minutes of latitude.[Note ۱]
lat_sec The seconds of latitude. Usually not necessary.[Note ۱]
lat_dir N if north (default value) or S for south of the Equator. Other values will be disregarded. Not required if using signed decimal degrees (i.e. negative numbers for southern latitude).
lon_deg Required. The degrees of Longitude. This value can be specified using decimal degrees and when this format is used minutes and seconds should not be specified.[Note ۱]
lon_min The minutes of longitude.[Note ۱]
lon_sec The seconds of longitude. Usually not necessary.[Note ۱]
lon_dir E for east (default value) or W for west of the Prime meridian. Other values will be disregarded. Not required if using signed decimal degrees (i.e. negative numbers for western longitude).

Notes:

  1. ۱٫۰ ۱٫۱ ۱٫۲ ۱٫۳ ۱٫۴ ۱٫۵ Appropriate precision should be used. For example, the whole US map, with a 1000-pel width, has a resolution of about 5km/pel. Only 2 decimal places of precision in decimal degrees (~1km), or whole minutes (~1.7km) in DMS format, are required.

This example does not designate the caption parameter. It demonstrates the use of the defaults. Notice that the default caption is the page name followed by the map name in parenthesis and that the label position is automatically adjusted if it is too close to an edge.

  {{Location map~ | Australia
    | label = Sydney
    | lat_deg = -33.86
    | lon_deg = 151.21 }}
  {{Location map~ | Australia
    | label = Melbourne
    | lat_deg = -37.81
    | lon_deg = 144.96 }}

This example uses a designated but empty caption. It demonstrates coordinates using decimal degrees and a 10px mark with a link.
