Map of Malawi

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

Map definition

  • name = Malawi
    Name used in the default map caption
  • image = Malawi adm location map.svg
    The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"
  • image1 = Malawi relief location map.jpg
    An alternative map image, usually a relief map, can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters
  • top = -9.1
    Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • bottom = -17.3
    Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • left = 32.4
    Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • right = 36.4
    Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Alternative map

The map defined as image1 (Malawi relief location map.jpg) 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:

Precision
