06-Nov-2007: The map definition "Template:Location map CanadaGeo" was created November 5, 2007, to allow placing markers over similar maps of Canada. It was created for using the new mapping procedure Template:Location_map_polarx, which can position markers/labels at coordinates skewed to match locations on polar-projection maps. An example using that new template is included to show markers placed on the geopolitical map of Canada. -Wikid77 20:21, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
21-Feb-2008: I have recalibrated the map settings to re-align markers onto precise locations for 8 points: Vancouver (west), Edmonton (west), Quebec City (east), Yellowknife (northwest), Churchill (Manitoba/center), Winnipeg (center), Alert (top), and the arctic circle (latitude 66.5 N). The new settings reduce the top/bottom distance, and lower the skew factors, with:
All 8 aligned markers are shown, to verify placement, in the updated examples on the doc subpage for the map-spec template: Template:Location_map_CanadaGeo/doc. Recalibration was based upon initial alignment of Churchill (Manitoba/center), Winnipeg (center), and the arctic circle, followed by adding outer cities while adjusting skew=0.00005, and lat_skew=1.275. -Wikid77 (talk) 18:25, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

The current map, File:Canada geopolitical map trim.jpg is based on File:Geopolitical map of Canada.png. To me, the latter map seems to be a better choice for two reasons:
Would this be technically possible? And are others in favour of replacing the map? Classical geographer (talk) 10:15, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Now that Location map supports more arbitrary mappings, I believe we can make this one compatible. I am going to work on it shortly. The example above should be correct when I am finished. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 03:58, 21 November 2010 (UTC)
