Module:Location map/data/United Kingdom Dorset is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Dorset. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.

• {{Location map|United Kingdom Dorset |...}}
• {{Location map many|United Kingdom Dorset |...}}
• {{Location map+|United Kingdom Dorset |...}}
• {{Location map~|United Kingdom Dorset |...}}

• top = 51.1

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = 50.5

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = -2.99

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = -1.65
