## Parameters

| parameter | description |  |
| --- | --- | --- |
| <code>}</code> | **Required** – use the name of the map as the first unnamed parameter; for example, specifying *England* will use the values for England in Module:Location map/data/England, if it exists, or otherwise. See the examples below. Multiple maps can be shown by providing a list of map names separated by <kbd>#</kbd>. For multiple maps, the first is shown by default, a reader can select the others with radio buttons. |  |
| <code>width</code> | Determines the width of the map in படவணுs, overriding any default values; do not include <code>px</code>, for example: <code>width=300</code>, not <code>width=</code>. |  |
| <code>default_width</code> | Determines the default width of the map in pixels, intended for use by templates, e.g. place infoboxes; the default value is 240. Do not include <code>px</code>. This value will be multiplied by the <code>defaultscale</code> parameter specified in individual map templates, if it exists, in order to achieve an appropriate size for vertical maps. For example, if <code>default_width=200</code> is given, a map of Thailand will be displayed with a width of 200x0.57 = 114 pixels (as specified in Module:Location map/data/Thailand). |  |
| <code>max_width</code> | The maximum size of the map in pixels, intended for use by templates, e.g. place infoboxes. Do not include <code>px</code>. |  |
| <code>float</code> | Specifies the position of the map on the page; valid values are <code></code>, <code></code>, <code></code> and <code></code>. The default is <code></code>. |  |
| <code></code> | Specifies the colour of the map ; the default is *lightgrey* (see web colors). If set to <code></code>, no will be generated. This parameter is seldom used. |  |
| <code>caption</code> | The text of a caption to be displayed below the map; specifying a caption will cause the map to be displayed with a . If <code>caption</code> is defined but is not assigned a value, the map will not be framed and no caption will be displayed. If <code>caption</code> is not defined, the map will not be framed and a default caption will be generated. The default caption is created from the <code>label</code> parameter (or the current page name if label not defined) and the <code>name</code> parameter from map definition template. Multiple captions can be shown when separated by <kbd>##</kbd> (that's two). |  |
| <code>alt</code> | Alt text for map; used by screen readers, see WP:ALT. |  |
| <code>relief</code> | Any non-blank value (1, yes, etc.) will cause the template to display the map specified in the map definition template as <code>image1</code>, which is usually a relief map; see the example at Location map+/relief. |  |
| <code>AlternativeMap</code> | 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. |  |
| <code>overlay_image</code> | Allows an overlay to be superimposed on the map; this parameter is seldom used. See the example at Location map+/overlay. |  |
| <code>label</code> | The text of the label to display next to the identifying mark; a wikilink can be used. The default, if not specified is no label, just the marker. |  |
| <code>label_size</code> | The font size to use for the label, given as a percentage of the normal font size (<100 = smaller, >100 = larger); the default size is 90. Do not include <code>%</code>, for example: <code>label_size=80</code>, not <code>label_size=80%</code>. If set to 0, the label is only displayed when the user hovers over the mark. |  |
| <code>label_width</code> | The width to use for the label, given as an em size; the default width is 6. Do not include <code>em</code>, for example: <code>label_width=7</code>, not <code>label_width=7em</code>. |  |
| <code>position</code> | The position of the label relative to the identifying mark; valid values are <code></code>, <code></code>, <code>top</code>,<code>bottom</code> and <code></code>. This defaults to either <code></code> or <code></code>, depending on the coordinates of the marker, and its position relative to the of the map image. When <code>position=</code>, any defined label will not be displayed with the mark, but it will be used to create the default caption. |  |
| <code>background</code> | The background colour to use for the label; see Web colors. The default is no background colour, which shows the map image behind the label. |  |
| <code>mark</code> | The name of an image file to display as the identifying mark; the default is . See examples at Commons:Location markers and Commons:Category:Map icons. |  |
| <code>marksize</code> | The size of the identifying mark in படவணுs; the default is 8. Do not include <code>px</code>, for example: <code>marksize=10</code>, not <code>marksize=</code>. |  |
| <code>link</code> | Specifies a wikilink which can be followed if the reader clicks on the identifying mark; do not include <code>[[]]</code> (double square brackets), for example: <code>link=Yellowstone National Park</code>, not <code>link=[&#91;Yellowstone National Park&#93;]</code>. |  |
| <code>coordinates</code> | The coordinates in format; <small>whilst *not* recommended, if you want to waste time, you can also enter them in decimal degrees (e.g. <code>48.067°N 12.863°E</code>); you shouldn't need to, though.</small> |  |
| <code>lat_deg</code> | The degrees of நிலநேர்க்கோடு; this value can be specified using decimal degrees, and when this format is used, minutes and seconds should not be specified. |  |
| <code>lat_min</code> | The minutes of latitude. |  |
| <code>lat_sec</code> | The seconds of latitude; not usually necessary. |  |
| <code>lat_dir</code> | N if north (default value), or S for south of the நிலநடுக் கோடு; other values will be disregarded. Not required if using signed decimal degrees, i.e. negative numbers for southern latitude. |  |
| <code>lon_deg</code> | The degrees of நிலநிரைக்கோடு; this value can be specified using decimal degrees, and when this format is used, minutes and seconds should not be specified. |  |
| <code>lon_min</code> | The minutes of longitude. |  |
| <code>lon_sec</code> | The seconds of longitude; not usually necessary. |  |
| <code>lon_dir</code> | E for east (default value), or W for west of the Prime Meridian; o_ther values will be disregarded. Not required if using signed decimal degrees, i.e. negative numbers for western longitude. | } |
