This template uniformly tags categories pages with the above notice and categorizes Location maps that are both SVG and produced to the 2008 Maps Standards which originated on de.wikipedia and fr.wikipedia. The below notice may (probably should) also appear on these category pages.

Categorization Warning: "Locator maps" and "Location maps" while similar and of similar purpose, are technically different – a single location map can replace dozens of locator maps.
This category should only contain blank maps compatible with Wikimedia Commons computerized geo-location framework and standards (such as en:Template:Location map).

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 English) location map.svg«
