<br />
This template is used for referencing maps published by [[Microsoft]] through their [[Bing Maps]] service. <br />
<br />
It can also be set to emulate CS2 style.<br />
<br />
Note that unlike paper maps, Bing Maps offers dynamic sizing at variable scales. Major citation style guides omit a map scale in that situation so this template does not render any scale output.<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
This:<br />
* <code><nowiki>{{Bing maps |url=http://binged.it/Q06Ih9 |title=Grand Rapids, MI |access-date=</nowiki>{{#time: j F Y}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><br />
generates this:<br />
* {{Bing maps |url=http://binged.it/Q06Ih9 |title=Grand Rapids, MI |access-date={{date}}}}<br />
<br />
=== Parameters ===<br />
* '''url''': the URL for the map in question<br />
* '''title''': a "subtitle" for the map. The link text will appear as "<title>" if "title" is used; otherwise, it will be the page name.<br />
* '''access-date''': the full retrieval date.<br />
* '''link''': set to no to unlink the authors.<br />
* '''mode''': set to "cs2" to use [[Help:Citation Style 2|Citation Style 2]] output<br />
*'''last-author-amp''': to join the authors with an ampersand (&amp;) instead of a semicolon (;) for consistency with other citations in an article<br />
