Map of Egypt

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

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

  • name = Egypt
    Name used in the default map caption
  • bottom = 21.3
    Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • left = 24.2
    Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • right = 37.3
    Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Alternative map

The map defined as image1 (Egypt 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:

It is possible to place markers/labels outside a map, by specifying latitude outside 20.5-32.8 or longitude coordinates beyond 25.5-35.8:

  • Over longitude=35.8 will push a label off-map to the right;
  • Under longitude= 20.5 will push a label off-map to the left;
  • Over latitude= 32.8 will push a label off-map to the top.

For templates that restrict coordinates, expand the minutes field: lat_deg=32.0 but lat_min=120 yielding a combined 34 degrees (60 minutes = 1 degree).
