Usage

Displays a particular location on a small map of Dereth given specific coordinates. You can use either upper or lower case letters (e, w, n, s or E, W, N, S). Note that because the coordinates need to be transformed into a point on the map, if a coordinate or direction parameter is missing or malformed the page will not render correctly.

You can optionally specify the marker for the points by adding a <Marker = Small> parameter. You can create new markers if desired, create a 9x9 pixel png image with transparency if it doesn't cover the entire area (center the image if not). Name the file "Map Point <Name>.png" and upload it and simply refer to it as <Name> (for example, Map Point Large.png is referenced as Large).

Whether you specify a caption at the end or leave it blank, if you have more than a single set of coordinates it each coordinate must be followed by another pipe ( | ). If this pipe is missing, the variable count will be off and the page will not render (white page). To use a larger map, to display more than 4 points, or to specify a particular marker for each individual point, use Template:Map Point Plus.

For example:
{{Map Point|12.9|S|51.5|E}}	{{Map Point|Marker=Dungeon|34.9|N|54.5|E|Abandoned Mine}}
displays as:
