Templat:Tl2 places one or more location marks on a map, with optional labels. It is in the same family of templates as the Location map template and the documentation for that template might be helpful.

Template:Location map+ uses a helper template, Templat:Tl2, one or more times to generate a mark for each location.

Usage

{{Location map+ | {{{1}}} | width = | float = | border = | caption = | alt = | relief = | AlternativeMap = | overlay_image = | places = }}

{{Location map~ | {{{1}}} | label = | label_size = | position = | background = | mark = | marksize = | link = | lat_deg = | lat_min = | lat_sec = | lat_dir = | lon_deg = | lon_min = | lon_sec = | lon_dir = }}

Parameters

Parameters for Location map+

Parameter	Description
{{{1}}}	Required. Use the name of the map as the first unnamed parameter. For example, specifying England will use the values for England in Module:Location map/data/England if it exists, or {{Location map England}} otherwise. See the examples below.
width	Determines the width of the map in pixels, overriding any default values. Do not include px, for example: width=300, not width=300px.
default_width	Determines the default width of the map in pixels, intended for use by templates e.g. place infoboxes. The default value is 240. Do not include px. This value will be multiplied by the defaultscale parameter specified in individual map templates, if it exists, in order to achieve an appropriate size for vertical maps. For example, if default_width=200 is given, a map of Thailand will be displayed with a width of 200 * 0.57 = 114 pixels (as specified in Module:Location map/data/Thailand).
float	Specifies the position of the map on the page. Valid values are left, right, center and none. The default is right.
border	Specifies the color of the 1px map border. The default is lightgrey (see web colors). If set to none, no border will be generated. This parameter is seldom used.
caption	The text of a caption to be displayed below the map. Specifying a caption will cause the map to be displayed with a frame. If caption is defined but is not assigned a value, the map will not be framed and no caption will be displayed. If caption is not defined, the map will not be framed and a default caption will be generated. The default caption is created from the label parameter (or the current page name if label not defined) and the name parameter from map definition template. See the examples below.
alt	Alt text for map; used by screen readers, see WP:ALT.
relief	Any non-blank value (1, yes, etc.) will cause the template to display the map specified in the map definition template as image1, which is usually a relief map. See the example at Location map+/relief.
AlternativeMap	Allows the use of an alternative map. The image must have the same edge coordinates as the location map template. See the example at Location map+/AlternativeMap.
overlay_image	Allows an overlay to be superimposed on the map. This parameter is seldom used. See the example at Location map+/overlay.
places	Specifies one or more place markers using Location map~.

Parameters for Location map~

Parameter	Description
{{{1}}}	Required. Use the name of the map as the first unnamed parameter. For example, specifying England will use the values for England in Module:Location map/data/England if it exists, or {{Location map England}} otherwise. See the examples below.
label	The text of the label to display next to the mark. A wiki link can be used. The default if not specified is no label, just the marker.
label_size	The font size to use for the label, given as a percentage of the normal font size (<100 = smaller, >100 = larger). The default is 90. Do not include %, for example: label_size=80, not label_size=80%. If set to 0, the label is only displayed when the user hovers over the mark.
position	The position of the label relative to the mark. Valid values are left, right, top and bottom. The default is right.
background	The background color to use for the label. See Web colors. The default is no background color, which shows the map image behind the label.
mark	The name of an image to display as the mark. The default is Red pog.svg (). See examples at Commons:Location markers and Commons:Category:Map icons.
marksize	The size of the mark in pixels. The default is 8. Do not include px, for example: marksize=10, not marksize=10px.
link	Specifies a wiki link which will be followed if the reader clicks on the mark. Do not include [[]], for example: link=Yellowstone National Park, not link=[[Yellowstone National Park]].
lat_deg	Required. The degrees of latitude. This value can be specified using decimal degrees and when this format is used minutes and seconds should not be specified.
lat_min	The minutes of latitude.
lat_sec	The seconds of latitude. Usually not necessary.
lat_dir	N if north (default value) or S for south of the Equator. Other values will be disregarded. Not required if using signed decimal degrees (i.e. negative numbers for southern latitude).
lon_deg	Required. The degrees of longitude. This value can be specified using decimal degrees and when this format is used minutes and seconds should not be specified.
lon_min	The minutes of longitude.
lon_sec	The seconds of longitude. Usually not necessary.
lon_dir	E for east (default value) or W for west of the Prime Meridian. Other values will be disregarded. Not required if using signed decimal degrees (i.e. negative numbers for western longitude).
