Openlayers

Leaflet

Notes

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

googlemaps would require billing

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).
