The following examples document the use of the relief parameter in the {{Location map+}} template. This parameter is also available via the {{Location map}} and {{Location map many}} templates. Map definitions are in Module:Location map/data/Japan.
Location map+, with undefined relief parameter
{{Location map+ | Japan
| relief =
| caption = Locations in [[Japan]] and the [[Ryukyu Islands]]
| places =
{{Location map~ | Japan
| label = Fukuoka
| lat_deg = 33 | lat_min = 35 | lat_dir = N
| lon_deg = 130 | lon_min = 24 | lon_dir = E
}}
{{Location map~ | Japan
| label = Naha
| lat_deg = 26 | lat_min = 12 | lat_dir = N
| lon_deg = 127 | lon_min = 41 | lon_dir = E

}}
Location map+, with relief parameter
{{Location map+ | Japan
| relief = 1
| caption = Locations in [[Japan]] and the [[Ryukyu Islands]]
| places =
{{Location map~ | Japan
| label = Fukuoka
| background = lightgrey
| lat_deg = 33 | lat_min = 35 | lat_dir = N
| lon_deg = 130 | lon_min = 24 | lon_dir = E

{{Location map~ | Japan
| label = Naha
| lat_deg = 26 | lat_min = 12 | lat_dir = N
| lon_deg = 127 | lon_min = 41 | lon_dir = E
}}
}}
Location map+, using other relief maps
By setting relief parameter to numerical values other than 1
{{Location map+ | Japan
| relief = 2
| caption = Locations in [[Japan]] and the [[Ryukyu Islands]]
| places =
{{Location map~ | Japan
| label = Fukuoka
| background = lightgrey
| lat_deg = 33 | lat_min = 35 | lat_dir = N
| lon_deg = 130 | lon_min = 24 | lon_dir = E
}}
{{Location map~ | Japan
| label = Naha
| lat_deg = 26 | lat_min = 12 | lat_dir = N
| lon_deg = 127 | lon_min = 41 | lon_dir = E
}}
}}
By using AlternativeMap for a different relief map
{{Location map+ | Japan
| AlternativeMap = Japan bluemarble location map with side map

| caption = Locations in [[Japan]] and the [[Ryukyu Islands]]
| places =
{{Location map~ | Japan
| label = Fukuoka
| background = lightgrey
| lat_deg = 33 | lat_min = 35 | lat_dir = N
| lon_deg = 130 | lon_min = 24 | lon_dir = E
}}
{{Location map~ | Japan
| label = Naha
| lat_deg = 26 | lat_min = 12 | lat_dir = N
| lon_deg = 127 | lon_min = 41 | lon_dir = E
}}
