Comments[edit]

This is a pretty squashed-looking map of Ontario. --Saforrest (talk) 16:27, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, this map is ugly. Why don't we use image:Ontario Locator Map.svg? -- P199 (talk) 17:37, 22 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:Bearcat seems to agree with it (see my talk page) and I too think this projection comes around unhandy. I'm going to change the embedded map to image:Ontario Locator Map.svg. De728631 (talk) 14:14, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Now I see why the other projection is in fact needed for the pushpin map. The coordinates are not properly alocated on image:Ontario Locator Map.svg. Reverting my changes. De728631 (talk) 14:18, 26 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, an orthographic projection map is needed to {{Location map}}. The image used (image:Census divisions ON.png), ugly as it is, is the only one of ON I found using such a projection. Azimuthal or equal area maps, such as image:Ontario Locator Map.svg, look much better for huge places like Ontario, but are more complicated to use with automatic maps. The map in question is also a bit tilted, which complicates things further. --Qyd (talk) 00:25, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Canada Ontario South?[edit]

Any chance a template like this could be created for {{location map Canada Ontario South}} with just all or part of the Ontario Highway 2/401 corridor (Windsor-TO-Kingston-Montréal)? Including the entire province westward to Kenora just to get London, Ontario or Kingston, Ontario is nuts as that's more distance than one could drive in a 25-hour day (the 25th hour being because of the time zone difference :) 66.102.83.61 (talk) 03:31, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
