This page relates to the aesthetics, calibration, options and other issues regarding the use of maps in the Template:Infobox UK place.

Scotland Map

As per previous discussion of other country maps (I am not sure where- it may not be in this template), it was discussed as to whether or not maps should look like an island; such as the existing Scotland map on this template.

I recall the argument went that as it is assumed someone reading an article has no previous knowledge on the subject, then surrounding countries should be included but shaded out. I have modified Image:Europe location ENG.png by cutting out Scotland and shading in Ireland and N. Ireland the same colour as England. I think this map looks neater in general as I am not a fan of the Satellite map style, as sometimes you can have too much detail.

I suggest that you raise this at WP Scotland first as the current maps went through a lot of development. Regan123 21:30, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

May I suggest that it uses the same pantones as in the Default UK map? It would be nice to obtain consistency. Jhamez84 22:32, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I notice the other map appears to have gone. Can I suggest using the version of the map that non-English versions of location map use? Image:Scotland map modern.png Pit-yacker 15:43, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Proposed Edinburgh Map

I draw your attention towards this proposed map for Edinburgh, where a discussion can be found at Talk:Edinburgh#A_map_of_Edinburgh

English County Maps

Can I suggest that we maintain the following list - to avoid the duplication of effort, to identify which have been done and which need doing, and to have everything in one place?
