<br />
This template is used for referencing maps published by [[Google|Google, Inc.]] through their [[Google Maps]] service.<br />
<br />
This template can also be set to emulate [[Help:Citation Style 2|Citation Style 2]] (CS2) style.<br />
<br />
Note that unlike paper maps, Google 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 />
<code><nowiki>{{Google maps|url= |title= |access-date=</nowiki>{{#time: j F Y}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><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 publisher.<br />
*'''mode''' – set to "cs2" to use [[Help:Citation Style 2|CS2]] output (lower case only)<br />
*'''ref''': for Harvard-style referencing, if necessary<br />
**'''letter''': a letter to append to a date or year for Harvard-style referencing, if necessary<br />
<br />
=== Examples ===<br />
Normal usage with automatic inclusion of page title (i.e. "{{BASEPAGENAME}}", which is taken from the template's full page title "{{FULLPAGENAME}}"):<br />
* <code><nowiki>{{Google maps |url= http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=from:+E%20Market%20St/RT-308%20@41.926860,%20-73.912580+to:+RT-308%20@41.970313,%20-73.821096 |access-date= </nowiki>{{#time: j F Y}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><br />
generates this:<br />
* {{Google maps |url= http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=from:+E%20Market%20St/RT-308%20@41.926860,%20-73.912580+to:+RT-308%20@41.970313,%20-73.821096 |access-date= {{date}}}}<br />
<br />
Using the optional "title" parameter:<br />
* <code><nowiki>{{Google maps |url= http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=from:+E%20Market%20St/RT-308%20@41.926860,%20-73.912580+to:+RT-308%20@41.970313,%20-73.821096 |title= Driving directions to RT-308 |access-date= </nowiki>{{#time: j F Y}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code><br />
generates this:<br />
* {{Google maps |url= http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&q=from:+E%20Market%20St/RT-308%20@41.926860,%20-73.912580+to:+RT-308%20@41.970313,%20-73.821096 |title= Driving directions to RT-308 |access-date= {{date}}}}<br />
