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

Map definition

  • name = South East Queensland
    Name used in the default map caption
  • bottom = -28.74
    Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • left = 151.73
    Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • right = 153.73
    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:

Precision

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 2 degrees.

  • At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.01 degrees per pixel.
  • At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0.002 degrees per pixel.

Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 3 degrees.

  • At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.015 degrees per pixel.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Mooloolaba is located in South East Queensland
Mooloolaba
Mooloolaba
Mooloolaba (South East Queensland)
{{Location map | Australia Queensland SEQ
| width   = 200
| lat_deg = -26.6819
| lon_deg = 153.1177
| label   = Mooloolaba
}}

Mooloolaba is still too far south in the map. dangnabbit I thought I fixed the coords of the map. Southport seems more accurate, but I think it still may be off. Too far... south, but only slightly??? Actually, Mooloolaba may be fine - I think I was mistaking where it should be with "Noosa Heads" (still sunshine coast LGA)

Location map many

{{Location map many | Australia Queensland SEQ
| width    = 200
| caption  = Two locations in South East Queensland
| lat1_deg = -26.6819
| lon1_deg = 153.1177
| label1   = Mooloolaba
| lat2_deg = -27.9736
| lon2_deg = 153.4047
| label2   = Southport
}}

something is wrong, the whole map doesn't show up
