Comparison of map properties

locator map image (P242) is a map suitable for an infobox for the item itself, showing where an entity is located in a wider area
location map (P1943) is a largely blank map, suitable for a push-pin to be added in an infobox for a place within the item -- the most major roads, railways and rivers are marked, but not the details of most settlements.
detail map (P1621) is for a detailed map or plan of the item, which is probably already too 'busy' to allow further annotation
relief location map (P1944) for a relief variant of the location map

Remove "image" from label?

Latest comment: 6 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The three other "map" properties (location map (P1943), detail map (P1621), relief location map (P1944)) do not have the word "image" at the end of their labels. I don't think the added word really helps anything. Perhaps it should be removed? --Yair rand (talk) 06:12, 6 December 2018 (UTC)Reply
