 |float=left or right or  none
  |width=width  of the map
}}

{{Location map  marker|location

}}

{{Location map  end|location

Creating new maps

1. Find an appropriate blank map in an orthographic projection.
2. Create a template named Template:Location map location (copy the content of any other map template into it and enter appropriate values).

Issues

Doesn't handle longitude properly for maps crossing the +/- 180 meridian yet.

For coordinates with western longitude don't forget the minus sign!

example: {{Location map marker|Westernland|label=Westerntown|lat=46.05|long=-14.5}}

Examples

{{Location map  start|Slovenia|float=left|width=100}}
{{Location map  marker|Slovenia|label=Ljubljana|lat=46.05|long=14.5}}
{{Location map  end|Slovenia|caption=Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia}}

---

{{Location  map start|Slovenia|float=right}}
{{Location map  marker|Slovenia|label=Nova  Gorica|lat=45.95|long=13.63|background=white}}
{{Loctiona map  marker|Slovenia|label=Maribor|lat=46.55|long=15.64}}
{{Location map  end|Slovenia}}
