Map of Tanzania

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

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

Map definition

• name = Tanzania

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Tanzania location map.svg

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

• image1 = Tanzania relief location_map.svg

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

• top = 0.25

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = -13

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = 28

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = 42

  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. 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 14 degrees.

• At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.07 degrees per pixel.
• At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0.014 degrees per pixel.

Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 13.25 degrees.

• At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.0663 degrees per pixel.
• At an image height of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0133 degrees per pixel.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

Dodoma

Dodoma (Tanzania)

{{Location map | Tanzania
| width   = 250
| lat_deg = -6.17
| lon_deg = 35.74
| label   = Dodoma
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

Dodoma

Mwanza

Two locations in Tanzania

{{Location map many | Tanzania
| relief   = yes
| width    = 250
| caption  = Two locations in Tanzania
| lat1_deg = -6.17
| lon1_deg = 35.74
| label1   = Dodoma
| pos1     = bottom
| lat2_deg = -2.52
| lon2_deg = 32.90
| label2   = Mwanza
| pos2     = bottom
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

Dodoma

Mwanza

Two locations in Tanzania

{{Location map+ | Tanzania
| AlternativeMap = Tanzania relief location map.svg

  {{Location map~ | Tanzania
  | lat_deg  = -6.17
  | lon_deg  = 35.74
  | label    = Dodoma
  | position = bottom
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Tanzania
  | lat_deg  = -2.52
