Template:Location map
I am currently in the process of trying to get permission for this template. This is what I have so far. Since it is incomplete, this template is based on an outdated version. It should be fixed soon.

- Still missing permission for some of the edits. Not sure if needed as they are very small (and thus perhaps are not a creative work, and therefore not copyrighted. but that is probably just wishful thinking)
Create location maps.

[edit]- Find an appropriate blank map in an orthographic projection.
- Create a template named Template:Location map Location.
- Copy the content of any other map template into it and enter appropriate values.
- Done.
Issues
[edit]- Doesn't handle longitude properly for maps crossing the +/- 180 meridian yet. (fixable, copyright is standing in my way)
- Due to copyright, not as up to date as the Wikipedia version. working on it.
