Cargo Displayformat Maps

Cargo Displayformat Maps

• Openlayers

{{#cargo_query: table=Place |format = openlayers |fields = Name, Description, Coordinates |width = 400 |height = 300 }}

• Leaflet

{{#cargo_query: table=Place |format = leaflet |fields = Name, Description, Coordinates |width = 400 |height = 300 }}

Notes

• parameters:
  • |icon = Squirrelslair 200.png - works, but poor visibility

• googlemaps would require billing

Encode locations

Template:Place defines Cargo Table Place.

Locations can be grabbed from Google Maps by right-clicking on an area and then clicking on the coordinates. They can be pasted into the Coordinates template paramater.

Here are the template calls (see edit view).

• Cargo

{{#cargo_store: _table = Place | Name= North Forge | Description= A place entry for testing | Coordinates = 49.89959808249238, -97.14224677575343 }}

• Cargo

{{#cargo_store: _table = Place | Name= WRC | Description= A place entry for testing | Coordinates = 49.88086121609553, -97.13063599481808 }}
