Map of Belgium

Module:Location map/data/Belgium is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Belgium. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.

Usage

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

Map definition

  • name = Belgium
    Name used in the default map caption
  • bottom = 49.2
    Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • left = 2.2
    Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • right = 6.9
    Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Alternative map

The map defined as image1 (Belgium relief location map.jpg) can be displayed by using the relief or AlternativeMap parameters in {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}} and {{Location map+}}. The use of these two parameters is shown in the examples below. Additional examples can be found at:

Precision

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 4.7 degrees.

  • At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.0235 degrees per pixel.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

 
 
Brussels
Brussels (Belgium)
{{Location map | Belgium
| width   = 200
| lat_deg = 50.85
| lon_deg = 4.35
| label   = Brussels
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

 
 
Brussels
 
Antwerp
Two locations in Belgium
{{Location map many | Belgium
| relief   = yes
| width    = 200
| caption  = Two locations in Belgium
| lat1_deg = 50.85
| lon1_deg = 4.35
| label1   = Brussels
| lat2_deg = 51.22
| lon2_deg = 4.40
| label2   = Antwerp
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

 
 
Brussels
 
Antwerp
Two locations in Belgium
{{Location map+ | Belgium
| AlternativeMap = Belgium relief location map.jpg
| width   = 200
| caption = Two locations in Belgium
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Belgium
  | lat_deg = 50.85
  | lon_deg = 4.35
  | label   = Brussels
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Belgium
  | lat_deg = 51.22
  | lon_deg = 4.40
  | label   = Antwerp
  }}
}}
