Template:Postcode areas imagemap/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Postcode areas imagemap. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template displays an imagemap of the 121 postcode areas in the United Kingdom and the 3 postcode areas in the Crown dependencies (GY, IM and JE).
The map used is File:British postcode areas map.svg. The template overlays the map with polygons corresponding to the postcode areas (including the areas shown at larger scale on the London and Manchester inset maps). This causes a tooltip and link for the relevant postcode area article to appear when users hover the mouse over an area on the map outside the subject area.
