This page provides conventions for the creation of location maps.
Location maps are an extremely light and chartjunk-free style. They focus on the subject, most of the time a country, and its official borders and subdivisions borders. This style purposely uses soft and print-friendly colors to ease the superimposition of labels or dots, as well as non-CIA based colors.
Usage: These maps are used especially by Template:Location map which uses geolocalisations to add a location mark (like 
) and/or a label onto the map in the browser. They are also used as background for locator maps to enlight the place and area of major subdivisions in a country, of a species range, etc. They may also be used as background for Exchanges maps, or as an administrative layer up on Topographic maps by keeping the borders only.
Where: these maps can be found on commons, in the category Location_maps_(2008_standard).
