Does anyone else think that the New York image (at {{tl|Location map New York}}) might be specified slightly wrong? The pushpin of [[Geneseo, New York]] looks slightly too high (Northerly) to me. --[[User:Bdesham|bdesham]]

Here's some ideas:

Miniatlas probably has the best bother/advantage ratio, especially if we can get it to display maps at right zoom levels. OTOH, I do like the idea of a portal of maps connected with this template. [[User talk:Zocky|Zocky]] | [[User:Zocky/Picture Popups|picture popups]] 15:45, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
:By miniatlas, I presume you mean [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~dispenser/maps.php?params=49_50_8_N_18_17_33_E#Wikiminiatlas this]. That looks great. Where can we find out more about this? Is this free software (ie not just an interface to Google maps), and can we use it now?-[[User talk:gadfium|<
::I've found the documentation at [[m:WikiMiniAtlas]], it is free software, and it's already implemented on en.wikipedia. In the article, you need to click on the little globe icon next to the coordinates, not on the coordinates themselves or on the ___location map. This gives a zoomable map, although unfortunately it doesn't appear to take note of the scale parameter to the coord template. If clicking on the ___location map could bring up this, with an appropriate zoom level, that would be fantastic. How can we move this forward?-[[User talk:gadfium|<
::I worked out how to get an appropriate zoom level; see my edit at [[Houhora]].-[[User talk:gadfium|<
:::That looks great Gadfium. Unfortunately the map which pops up when you click the globe seems to have a lower z-index than the wikipedia logo, so clicking on the zoom buttons takes me to the main page!

::::That problem arises if the map overlaps the left-hand links bar. I just tried at 800x600 resolution, and it was just out of that area - presumably the implementer of the feature allowed for that resolution. For a smaller screen or narrower browser width, then yes there would be the problem you describe.-[[User talk:gadfium|<
I've modified [[Houhora]] to use a ___location map of just Northland, but with an inset of the whole of New Zealand. Is this better than the previous version?-[[User talk:gadfium|<

== Template naming conventions for subdivisions of a country ==
I propose that all ___location map templates for each subdivision in a country follow a naming convention so that they are all grouped together rather than being scattered across the entire A-Z range. For example for states in the USA: {{tl|Location map Alaska}} becomes {{tl|Location map USA Alaska}}, {{tl|Location map New York}} becomes {{tl|Location map USA New York}}. Or for Canada, {{tl|Location map British Columbia}} becomes {{tl|Location map Canada British Columbia}} and {{tl|Location map Ontario}} becomes {{tl|Location map Canada Ontario}}.

:*Unless there any objections within the next few days, I am going to make this change. Of course, the current templates will become redirects. [[User:RedWolf|RedWolf]] ([[User talk:RedWolf|talk]]) 03:41, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

The red dots on the map are active links, but clicking on one of them takes you to [[Image:Red pog.svg|this link|20px]] instead of [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/geo/geohack.php GeoHack]. Any chance this can be fixed please? 13:04, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
:See above. --[[User:Obersachse|Obersachse]] ([[User talk:Obersachse|talk]]) 07:36, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
::I think you might have misunderstood my request? The discussion you refer to above was about zooming in when the map is clicked. I'm suggesting that the hyperlinks for the red dots on the map use the underlying GPS co-ordinates of that point to redirect you to geohack, as happens when you click on a [[template:coord|<nowiki>{{coord}}</nowiki>]] link. This will certainly be more useful than being taken to this [[Image:Red pog.svg|big red dot]], right? <

Do you mean a blank map of ''Gibraltar map-en-edit2.svg''? I'm not sure. The detail on the map will be quite small in the template, so it might not matter. What do you think?

::::It's definitely better, thanks. Although it might be even better by leaving things like roads and built up areas and just removing the labels on the land. Labels on the sea area will probably be best to leave in (Harbour, Bay, coves, etc). Other things I can think of particular importance, apart from those already mentioned are:
Line 176:
::::*Labelling of the summit.
::::*Maybe adding a modified key.
::::I think it will be better to locate things within as it will have some information to reference to. What do you think?
