Module:Location map/data/USA California is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of the U.S. state of California. 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 "USA California":

• {{Location map|USA California |...}}
• {{Location map many|USA California |...}}
• {{Location map+|USA California |...}}
• {{Location map~|USA California |...}}

Map definition

• name = California

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = USA California location map.svg

  The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"

• top = 42.2

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• bottom = 32.3

  Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = -124.7

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = -113.9

  Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees
