Map of Mexico

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

• {{Location map|Mexico |...}}
• {{Location map many|Mexico |...}}
• {{Location map+|Mexico |...}}
• {{Location map~|Mexico |...}}

Map definition

• name = Mexico

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Mexico States blank map.svg

  The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"

• image1 = Mexico topographic map-blank 2.svg

  An alternative map image, usually a relief map, which can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters

• image2 = Mexico location map.svg

  Alternative map image which can be displayed via the AlternativeMap parameter

• top = 33.3

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = 14.2

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = -118.5

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = -86.3

  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. The map displayed as image2 can be used with the AlternativeMap parameter. Examples may be found below or in the following:

• Template:Location map#Relief parameter
• Template:Location map+/relief
• Template:Location map#AlternativeMap parameter
• Template:Location map+/AlternativeMap

Precision

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 32.2 degrees.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Mexico City

Mexico City (Mexico)

{{Location map | Mexico
| width   = 250
| lat_deg = 19.43
| lon_deg = -99.13
| label   = Mexico City
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

Mexico City

Tijuana

class=notpageimage|

Two locations in Mexico

{{Location map many | Mexico
| relief   = yes
| width    = 250
| caption  = Two locations in Mexico
| lat1_deg = 19.43
| lon1_deg = -99.13
| label1   = Mexico City
| lat2_deg = 32.53 
| lon2_deg = -117.03
| label2   = Tijuana
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

Mexico City

Tijuana
