Map of Uganda

Module:Location map/data/Uganda is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of Uganda. 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 "Uganda":

Map definition

  • name = Uganda
    Name used in the default map caption
  • bottom = -1.7
    Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • left = 29.2
    Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees
  • right = 35.3
    Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

Alternative map

The {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}}, and {{Location map+}} templates have parameters to specify an alternative map image. The map displayed as image1 can be used with the relief or AlternativeMap parameters. Examples may be found below or in the following:

Precision

Longitude: from West to East this map definition covers 6.1 degrees.

  • At an image width of 200 pixels, that is 0.0305 degrees per pixel.
  • At an image width of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0061 degrees per pixel.

Latitude: from North to South this map definition covers 6.2 degrees.

  • At an image height of 200 pixels, that is 0.031 degrees per pixel.
  • At an image height of 1000 pixels, that is 0.0062 degrees per pixel.

Examples using location map templates

Location map, using default map (image)

 
 
Kampala
Kampala (Uganda)
{{Location map | Uganda
| width   = 250
| lat_deg = 0.31
| lon_deg = 32.58
| label   = Kampala
}}

Location map many, using relief map (image1)

 
 
Kampala
 
Gulu
 
Kisoro
Three locations in Uganda
{{Location map many | Uganda
| relief   = yes
| width    = 250
| caption  = Three locations in Uganda
| lat1_deg = 0.31
| lon1_deg = 32.58
| label1   = Kampala
| pos1     = bottom
| lat2_deg = 2.78
| lon2_deg = 32.3
| label2   = Gulu
| lat3_deg = -1.285
| lon3_deg = 29.685
| label3   = Kisoro
| pos3     = top
}}

Location map+, using AlternativeMap

 
 
Kampala
 
Gulu
 
Kisoro
Three locations in Uganda
{{Location map+ | Uganda
| AlternativeMap = Uganda location map Topographic.png
| width   = 250
| caption = Three locations in Uganda
| places  =
  {{Location map~ | Uganda
  | lat_deg  = 0.31
  | lon_deg  = 32.58
  | label    = Kampala
  | position = bottom
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Uganda
  | lat_deg  = 2.78
  | lon_deg  = 32.3
  | label    = Gulu
  }}
  {{Location map~ | Uganda
  | lat_deg  = -1.285
  | lon_deg  = 29.685
  | label    = Kisoro
  | position = top
  }}
}}
