The cite map template includes the title parameter, which if published in an atlas, book, or journal, may be wikilinked or may use map-url, but not both.

Examples include

• SVG development
  • source code of this SVG is valid.
  • This map was created with perl.
  • This SVG map uses embedded raster graphics to show its topographic structures

This is one of the maps I would like to have.

This Canadian political map was drawn and adapted from Atlas of Canada by E Pluribus Anthony on 11 March 2006. See details here

This administrative map was made on 7 February 2007 by User:Styx. It has labels in French with labels in French, was created with Inkscape, a "free and open-source vector graphics editor used to create vector images, primarily in Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) format. Other formats can be imported and exported." The 2008 locator map resized and removed all labels from this map pour la géolocation du Canada. Inkscape coordinates are est x=80px, y=166px, height=920, width=1084. This map was improved or created by the Wikigraphists of the Graphic Lab (fr). You can propose images to clean up, improve, create or translate as well.

This basic Canadian locator map made by User:Yug in July 2008 with this description "Version recadrée et épurée de Carte administrative du Canada

In 2011 Elektryk4 used Yug's map to create a High Arctic Relocation map. Inuit families were relocated in 1953 from Inukjuak, Québec 2000 km north to Resolute Bay (left arrow) and Grise Fiord (right arrow), both Nunavut.

This Canada location map, which was made on 15 November 2020 by User:MapGrid, includes all the major rivers.

This Nunavut location map was made by User:Flappiefh on August 6, 2012. It uses the Lambert conformal conic projection.

This pushpin location map is used in most articles on Nunavut. It was made on September 8, 2010 by User:Algkalv and User:Dr. Blofeld based on original by User:Yug with an inset map by User:EOZyo. The two maps were put together by Ruhrfisch.

This SVG location map of Nunavut is a derivative map by NordNordWest. It uses the Lambert conformal conic projection.

When uploading an image to Wikimedia Commons the sources of the data used to create the image can be listed, as in this example: "Data derived from NASA SRTM, Natural Resources Canada, US Geological Survey, and Natural Earth"

An excellent example of how to cite references for "data derived" can be found in Sémhur's description here and this one by Eric Gaba and this one locator map of nothern Canada

The Workshop Project recommends .svg and .png.

• detailed maps series from the University of Guelph. I am in the process of finding and/or creating archive urls for this older website so the content will continue to be available.

It is helpful to learn how to use coordinates, pushpin map, map size, and map captions properly with lots of opportunities for error.

I added this image in September 2018 to the article I wrote on the IPCC. It is from NASA. User:Pierre cb told me that its license should be based on the template PD-USGov-NASA {{PD-USGov-NASA and its categories should only be Category:Atmospheric rivers Category:Satellite pictures of mid-latitude storms. User:Pierre cb added that he does not want to answer any more questions.

NordNordWest has some very helpful suggestions. Apparently in a map project on India, Pakistan and Bangladesh is national maps "line up correctly with the coastlines in these regions in a way not done by any current location map for subnational divisions there, so I'm assuming they are accurate boundaries". User C1MM asked NordNordWest where their data come from. C1MM said "US national imagery data is very vague, I looked and it seems you have to have some special login in order to access it. Is that how you get the data?" NNW said "Data usually used for my country maps is en:Vector Map Level Zero. But this data is outdated or even incorrect so I often grab a satellite image and update/correct it. I think that's the main difference to other map contributors: most of them don't check their free data." NNW 13:51, 30 January 2021 (UTC) C1MM asks "Ah, that makes sense. What about information about administrative boundaries such as provinces, states etc?" NNW says, "I simplified layering for India location map (no nested layers inside groups like there is now) and merged all international provinces/subdivisions in the other countries layer into a single path and reduced the document size to ~1.3 MB. Is it best if I upload this now under a different name and then some administrator can grab it and update the actual file and delete the placeholder?"

I added Duncan Lake (Amazay Lake) to the existing map below of the 2010 Map of the Finlay River, a tributary and headwater of the Peace River, in BC, Canada. 8 March 2010. Background and river course data from authored by Shannon. Shannon's description is "Map of the drainage basin of Finlay River, a tributary of the Peace River in Northern BC. Data derived from NASA SRTM, Natural Resources Canada, US Geological Survey, and Natural Earth." She lists the Source as Own work.
