UserMap Documentation

The following documentation shows how to display a map of your location or a map of all users in the Osgeo 'user database'.

It also shows how to include yourself in the aforementioned database. Please give feedback here.

Add yourself to the userMap

Every user adds himself to the userMap by placing a parser tag 'umSetParam' on his userpage (User:username). The tag has the following syntax:

{{#umSetParam: long|lat|City, Country|Full name|Wiki username}}

The coordinates are in decimal degrees, x|y format. If the User doesn't exist, or the parameters are changed and the tag is placed on the users userpage, the database will be updated. For example (on the wiki page: User:Christian_Willmes):

{{#umSetParam: 6.92|50.95|Cologne, Germany|Christian Willmes|Christian Willmes}}

Display a map of a users home location

To display a map of the home location of a user include the following tag into a wikipage:

{{#umUserMap: username|width|height|zoom}}

The 'width' and 'height' parameters are optional. If not provided, standard values of 'width=400px', 'height=250px' and 'zoom=4' are applied.
For example:

{{#umUserMap: Christian Willmes}}

{{#umUserMap: Christian Willmes}}

Display a map of all users home locations

To display a map of all wiki users include the following tag:

{{#umAllUserMap: width|height|zoom|centerat}}

By combination of the zoom and centerat parameters you can focus any region of the map. The parameters are optional. If no parameters are provided, standard ones will be used (width=800px, height=450px, zoom=2, centerat=0, 0).
For example with an focus on Europe:

{{#umAllUserMap: 800px|450px|4|7, 51}}

{{#umAllUserMap: 800px|450px|4|7, 51}}
