Categorization Warning: "Locator maps" and "Location maps" while similar and of similar purpose, are technically different— for a single location map can replace dozens of locator maps.

This category should only contain blank maps compatible with Wikimedia Foundation computerized geo-location standards.
• The purpose of the geo-locations standard is to enable an overlay of a locator dot to a map created with a GIS software using an equirectangular or conical projection for high latitudes areas and for which the geographic limits are perfectly known.
• A geo-location coordinate is used to generate the location's overlay, and optionally, a label via a template.
• The file name conventions for location maps are:
for states: »(state name in english) location map.svg«
for administrative subdivisions: »(state name in english) (name of administrative subdivision in englisch) location map.svg«
English: This is the parent category of location maps of all types. A location map is a Equalarea projection upon which a computerized location dot and optional label can be overlayed, as opposed to a locator map, which has fixed dots and annotations.
Those that have been made in the German Kartenwerkstatt (Map Lab) with a new standard graphic or by compatible standards are subcategorized within category:Location maps (2008 standard).
