Available maps   List of live templates named Template:Location_map_skew_<locname> (without "Template:" prefix here):   Map definition templates with non-default skew values defined include:   - skew = 0.960 / lat_skew = 1.040 (updated to work with Location map template via x/y parameters)   - skew = 0.675 / lat_skew = 1.300   - skew = 0.86   - skew = 0.91   Creating new maps   Find an appropriate blank map in equirectangular projection (otherwise, coordinates will drift off, typically further north) Create a template named "Template:Location_map_locname" (copy the content of any other map template into it and enter appropriate values). Set default parameter values (using those parameter names), such as setting "mark" with image-file name and "marksize" for pixels wide/tall, or set default label font size ("label_size = 78" percent). Parameter names not used by "Template:Location_map" will be ignored by it, and only used for multiple-markers (such as defaulting "label2_size = 78" percent, or "mark2size=7" pixels).

are implemented using the typical wiki parser-functions ("{{#XXX ... }}"), described at: WikiMedia Help:ParserFunctions.  Explanation of skewing The skewing of map coordinates, when placing markers/labels on the map image, is performed by a linear interpolation of the longitude relative to the height of the latitude (higher latitudes skew longitude more).  A skew factor < 1.0 squeezes longitudes together near top, while a skew factor > 1.0 spreads longitudes apart near the top.  The formula is roughly:  To skew by latitude ratio (skewing longitude more towards top):  skew factor = ( (1 - skew) * lat_ratio + skew ), where:  lat_ratio = (maxlat - latitude) / (maxlat-minlat).  Use of HTML divisions The map with markers/labels is implemented as nested HTML divisions. The map-image is in an HTML division, containing each point as a percent-locator division containing a marker-image sub-division plus a label sub-division.  Each point is calculated (for a percent-locator division) with X or Y coordinate "XX.X%" or "YY.Y%" as follows:   The div-tag is "<div style="position: absolute; z-index: 2; top: XX.X%; left: YY.Y%; ...>"  For placing latitude, the calculation is:  XX.X% = 100 * (top - (lat_deg + latmin/60 +latsec/3600) ) / (top - bottom)  If lat_deg is empty, the combined decimal latitude is used from "lat".  If lat_dir is "S" (south), the latitude is multiplied by -1.  (Note latitude YY.Y% is reversed, with larger YY.Y% at bottom.)  For placing longitude, the calculation is:  YY.Y% = 100 * ( (lon_deg + lonmin/60 +lonsec/3600) - left ) / (right - left)  If lon_deg is empty, the combined decimal longitude is used as "long".  If lon_dir is "W" (west), the longitude is multiplied by -1.  The div-tag is ended as "height: 0; width: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;">".  Within that division the marker/label sub-divisions are coded as:  <div style="position: relative text-align: center; ...">.  For label position, the options are shifted as:  when position=left, adds "left: -6.5em; text-align: right;"  when position=right, adds "left: 0.5em; text-align: left;"  when position=top, adds "top:-2.65em; left:-3em; text-align: center;"  when position=bottom, adds "top:-0.15em; left: -3em; text-align: center;" to div-tag.  Accuracy of numeric calculations depends on the particular wiki server handling the webpage.  আরও দেখুন  Template:Location map - placing one marker/label by latitude/longitude.
