== Map display methods == === Display a marker on a map using a template and geographic coordinates === A marker can be superimposed on a map using one of a set of special map templates. To display a marker, the geographic coordinates must be specified using the {{tl|Coord}} template inside the {{para|coordinates}} parameter. See the documentation for {{tl|Location map}}. The parameters for this template map to a subset of the parameters used by {{tlf|Location map}}. A map template can be found using these sources: :[[Template:Location map/List|List of templates]] – Many of the listed items are redirects and a few templates may not function as expected. :[[:Category:Location map templates]] - templates sorted by category. :[[Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info]] – a search that might help. :[[Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/]] – another search that might help. :[[Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map]] – another search that might help. All of the names begin with the words "Location map" followed by the area covered. The value you need to specify is the area name. The map template for Canada is [[Module:Location map/data/Canada|Location map/data/Canada]]. In this case specify {{para|map|Canada}}. {{Infobox glacier | name = Four Corners, Canada | map = Canada | map_caption = Example using geographic coordinates | coordinates = {{coord|60|N|102|W|display=inline <!-- for documentation page only - not general practice --> }} }} <pre> {{Infobox glacier | name = Four Corners, Canada | map = Canada | map_caption = Example using geographic coordinates | coordinates = {{coord|60|N|102|W|display=inline <!-- for documentation page only - not general practice --> }} }}</pre> By default, {{tl|Coord}} displays in the infobox only in the page title. Parameter {{para|display|inline,title}} can be added to make the coordinates display at the top of the page as well. {{clear}} === Using the {{tl|Coord}} template for coordinates === {{Infobox glacier | name = Gannett Glacier | photo = <!--typo in file name; do not fix here -->Gannet Peak with Gannett Glacier.jpg | photo_caption = Gannett Glacier on the north slope of [[Gannett Peak]] | type = Mountain glacier | location = [[Fremont County, Wyoming]], USA | coords = {{coord|43|11|48|N|109|39|02|W|region:US-WY_type:glacier}} | area = {{convert|3.63|km2|acre|0|abbr=on}} (in 1999) | length = | thickness = | terminus = Moraine | status = Retreating }} <pre style="overflow: auto;"> {{Infobox glacier | name = Gannett Glacier | photo = Gannet Peak with Gannett Glacier.jpg | photo_caption = Gannett Glacier on the north slope of [[Gannett Peak]] | type = Mountain glacier | location = [[Fremont County, Wyoming]], USA | coords = {{coord|43|11|48|N|109|39|02|W|region:US-WY_type:glacier}} | area = {{convert|3.63|km2|acre|0|abbr=on}} (in 1999) | length = | thickness = | terminus = Moraine | status = Retreating }} </pre> {{clear}} ===With a map === {{Infobox glacier | name = Eyjafjallajökull | photo = Eyjafjallajokull Gigjokull in ash.jpg | photo_caption = Gígjökull, Eyjafjallajökull's largest [[Glacier morphology#Outlet glaciers|outlet glacier]] covered in volcanic ash | type = | location = [[Iceland]] | coords = {{coord|63|38|N|19|36|W|display=inline|region:IS}} | area = {{convert|100|km2|sqmi|-1|abbr=on}} | map = Iceland | map_caption = Location in Iceland | length = | thickness = | terminus = | status = Most recently (as of May 2010) }} <pre style="overflow: auto;"> {{Infobox glacier | name = Eyjafjallajökull | photo = Eyjafjallajokull Gigjokull in ash.jpg | photo_caption = Gígjökull, Eyjafjallajökull's largest [[Glacier morphology#Outlet glaciers|outlet glacier]] covered in volcanic ash | type = | location = [[Iceland]] | coords = {{coord|63|38|N|19|36|W|display=inline|region:IS}} | area = {{convert|100|km2|sqmi|-1|abbr=on}} | map = Iceland | map_caption = Location in Iceland | length = | thickness = | terminus = | status = Most recently (as of May 2010) }} </pre> {{clear}} Note that glaciers lying south of the equator and east of the Prime Meridian to the International Date Line will use "S" and "E" in their coordinates.
