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

• {{Location map|USA Cape Cod |...}}
• {{Location map many|USA Cape Cod |...}}
• {{Location map+|USA Cape Cod |...}}
• {{Location map~|USA Cape Cod |...}}

Map definition

• name = Cape Cod

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = USA Mass Cape Cod location map.svg

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

• top = 42.104054

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = 41.488985

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = -70.84478

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = -69.77812

  Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Precision

The lighthouses of Cape Cod

Here is a fairly complex real-world example, showing 17 points and linked labels in a small 320px image. Careful experimentation with "|position=" and "|background=" allows us to legibly label the points:
