Template:Location map notice

Categorization Warning: "Locator maps" and "Location maps" while similar and of similar purpose, are technically different – a single location map can replace dozens of locator maps. This category should only contain blank maps compatible with Wikimedia Commons computerized geo-location framework and standards (such as en:Template:Location map). The purpose of the geo-locations standard is to enable an overlay of a locator dot to a map created with a GIS software using an equirectangular or conical projection for high latitudes areas and for which the geographic limits are perfectly known. A geo-location coordinate is used to generate the location's overlay, and optionally, a label via a template. The file name conventions for location maps are: for states: »(state name in English) location map.svg« for administrative subdivisions: »(state name in English) (name of administrative subdivision in English) location map.svg«
