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

• {{Location map|Vancouver Island |...}}
• {{Location map many|Vancouver Island |...}}
• {{Location map+|Vancouver Island |...}}
• {{Location map~|Vancouver Island |...}}

Map definition

• name = Vancouver Island

  Name used in the default map caption

• image = Vancouver Island contour map.png

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

• top = 50.9

  Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees

• left = -129.3

  Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees

• right = -121.2

  Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees

• x = 14.500961*($2 + 129.33431) + 7.6005899*($1 - 50.957789)

  An expression to calculate a location on the map via its longitude; evaluates as 0 along the left edge and 100 along the right edge

• y = 5.8784868*($2 + 129.33431) - 23.076855*($1 - 50.947789)

  An expression to calculate a location on the map via its latitude; evaluates as 0 along the top edge and 100 along the bottom edge
