The reason to fix it here instead of elsewhere is that the Location map template is used inside of many infoboxes, some of which have been coded with both types of parameters. It is easier to change this one ___location than to parse the call to Location map in each of these infoboxes.

:{{re|Jonesey95}} I've commented out the code which produces the error message for now. Once all the infoboxes have been converted we can reinstate the message.

== Help with Coordinates being off ==
 
I created a map in 2013 (and edited it in 2015) and took a screenshot of the results (see history of this image): [[:File:2015 Professional Soccer Teams in USA Canada.png]]
 
But now it produces something that is way off: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Tr%C3%B6del/soccer_map&oldid=678810967 see this edit] for what it looked like when I came back today before I started fiddling with the long/lat: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Tr%C3%B6del/soccer_map&oldid=678810967
 
Does anyone know why the locations would have changed between then and now and what I can do to fix them? Thx in adv! --<font color="#06C">[[User_talk:Trödel|Trödel]]</font> 04:10, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
 
: It looks fine to me. The dots aren’t aligned to the same spot but the coordinates aren’t the same so is presumably as intended. But it looks like your screenshot. How exactly is it 'way off'?--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small><sup>[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 06:23, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
:: Thanks for the reply. This image shows the downshift: [[:File:Soccer map showing coordinates are off.jpg]] All the coordinates are down by about 1 --<font color="#06C">[[User_talk:Trödel|Trödel]]</font> 14:10, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
::: I see what you mean. Have a look at it now: I took the version that was having problems and stripped out a lot of white space and that seems to have fixed it. It probably was interpreting the spacing as paragraph breaks and so inserting <nowiki><p></nowiki> tags which was screwing with the layout. If you want spacing for layout you can put as many blank lines as you want inside comments.--<small>[[User:JohnBlackburne|JohnBlackburne]]</small><sup>[[User_talk:JohnBlackburne|words]]</sup><sub style="margin-left:-2.0ex;">[[Special:Contributions/JohnBlackburne|deeds]]</sub> 14:47, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
:Okay, this is a much more widespread problem than I thought. I added a fix to [[Module:Location map/multi]] that will hopefully make this not be a problem at all anymore. [[User:Jackmcbarn|Jackmcbarn]] ([[User talk:Jackmcbarn|talk]]) 17:28, 19 December 2016 (UTC)
