USA2

Have a look at Template:Location map USA2. --Obersachse (talk) 17:58, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, should we merge it with this template? Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 02:23, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I think so. But take the right interwikis. --Obersachse (talk) 05:21, 14 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Done Agree. I've boldly performed the merge. Michael! (talk) 12:22, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Location map USA/sandbox

These are the available location maps for the USA on the English Wikipedia. Only the USA has a relief map. The unused sandbox template is the only one that supports positions in all 50 US states, instead of only the continental 48. Which one do you prefer as the standard location map (and which should thus reside here at Template:Location map USA)? Michael! (talk) 15:23, 7 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For clarity, USA supports a relief map with the |relief=1 parameter. If you would like to display locations in all 50 states you could use USA/sandbox, which is accurate, but less detailed and has no relief map; for almost every purpose, however, the standard USA location map template is better.

Change Description Request

Please change the description from "Module:Location map/data/USA is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equidistant conic projection map of the United States." to "...on an equidistant conic projection map of the 48-Contiguous United States".

It also seems quite unusual that the default tag for "USA" is still, 10+ years later, for the 48-contiguous United States alone when Module:Location_map/data/USA2 is available at the same scale (no problems for locations moving except those using the USA map to indicate locations in Mexico). Any chance that we can overcome inertia and eventually move this to USA-48 or something and make USA a redir to USA2 (=the actual United States)?
