The locator map definition, '''Template:Location_map_USA_Alabama''', is intended for overlaying markers and labels on similar maps of [[Alabama]].

'''Template:Location map USA Alabama''' is a ___location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an [[equirectangular projection]] map of [[Alabama]]. The markers are placed by [[latitude]] and [[longitude]] coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.

Some of the related mapping procedures are:

== Usage ==

* [[Template:Location_map]] - puts 1 symbol/label on the map image;

These definitions are used by the following templates when invoked with parameter "USA Alabama":

* [[Template:Location_map_many]] - puts multiple symbols/labels on the map image.

* {{tlx|Location map | USA Alabama&nbsp;| ...}}

* {{tlx|Location map many | USA Alabama&nbsp;| ...}}

* {{tlx|Location map+ | USA Alabama&nbsp;| ...}}

* {{tlx|Location map~ | USA Alabama&nbsp;| ...}}

== Map definition ==

This template uses the mapping procedure "[[Template:Location_map]]" which must be invoked with parameter "Alabama" to process the options before it uses the template. Specify each of the individual parameters by using vertical bars: <nowiki>{{Location map | Alabama | ...}}</nowiki>.

* <tt>'''name''' = {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|name}}</tt>

*: Name used in the default map caption

* <tt>'''image''' = [[:File:{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image}}|{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image}}]]</tt>

For map width, omit "px" (width=160) or else map might expand and throw marker across page: the "px" cannot be detected in advance.

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

{{#if:{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image1}}|

* <tt>'''image1''' = [[:File:{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image1}}|{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image1}}]]</tt>

See: {{tl|Location map}} for description of parameters, or Examples below.

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

}}{{#if:{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image2}}|

* <tt>'''image2''' = [[:File:{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image2}}|{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image2}}]]</tt>

[[Image:{{Location map Alabama|image}}|left|thumb|200px|{{Location map Alabama|image}}]]

*: A second alternative map image, can be displayed via the ''AlternativeMap'' parameter only

}}{{#if:{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|mark}}|

* <tt>'''mark''' = [[:File:{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|mark}}]] ( [[File:{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|mark}}|8px]] )</tt>

{| class="wikitable"

*: A ___location marker image to be used for this map, in place of the default image <tt>[[:File:Red pog.svg]] ( [[File:Red pog.svg|8px]] )</tt>

*: An expression to calculate a ___location on the map via its [[longitude]]; evaluates as 0 along the left edge and 100 along the right edge

* <tt>'''y''' = {{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|y}}</tt>

*: An expression to calculate a ___location on the map via its [[latitude]]; evaluates as 0 along the top edge and 100 along the bottom edge

{{#if:{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image1}}|

== Alternative map ==

The map defined as '''image1''' (<tt>{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image1}}</tt>) can be displayed by using the ''relief'' or ''AlternativeMap'' parameters in {{tl|Location map}}, {{tl|Location map many}} and {{tl|Location map+}}. {{#if:{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image2}}| The map defined as '''image2''' (<tt>{{{{BASEPAGENAME}}|image2}}</tt>) can only be displayed by using the ''AlternativeMap'' parameter.}} The use of these two parameters is shown in the examples below. Additional examples can be found at:
