:@[[User:Wtmitchell|Wtmitchell]]: Google shows you the right ___location because you're searching by name, but the coords are more like 18.62 and -88.15 (pin dropped near the ___location in Google maps). [[User:Ponor|Ponor]] ([[User talk:Ponor|talk]]) 09:58, 30 March 2024 (UTC)

== Caps fix ==
{{Edit template-protected|answered=yes}}
Can someone please make a change so the text displayed is "Location map", not "Location Map"?

:{{to|HandsomeFella}} please show an example of where you see "Map" with "M" in uppercase styling.

== Center aligned label? ==
 
Hi, I've searched the talk page archives for this, but I couldn't find a solution. Is it possible to place a label exactly over the point where the mark would be? I'm trying to make a label map of Afghan provinces [[User:RAGentry/sandbox|here]] on my sandbox, but it seems that the label will always be off-center, even if you move the "positon" parameter to "top" or "bottom". It would be useful if "center" were an option for this parameter. I'm trying to see if ___location maps could be used to make something like image-label maps such as at [[:Template:Bulgaria Provinces]], which would be much easier considering it uses coordinates instead of pixels of the image. &mdash; [[User:RAGentry|<span style="color:#00afaa">'''RAGentry'''</span>]] [[User talk:RAGentry|<span style="color:#f5246c">'''(talk)'''</span>]] [[Special:Contributions/RAGentry|<span style="color:#f98137">'''(contributions)'''</span>]] 22:17, 18 February 2024 (UTC)
 
:{{re|RAGentry}} Sadly there doesn't seem to be a convenient way to do this currently. I guess until that "center" option is implemented, the best workaround would be to add/subtract a standard latitude from the position. If you were working with modules, such action could be automated as in [[Module:Russo-Ukrainian War detailed map (oblasts)]].

== Is it currently possible to prevent markers from showing over the caption? ==
 
If one recycles markers from a larger map into a more localized map, some markers may appear all over the caption, i.e. [[Template:Russo-Ukrainian War detailed map (oblasts)]].
