{{Documentation subpage}}


This template is used for referencing maps published by [[AOL|AOL, Inc.]] through their [[Mapquest]] service.

This template is based on {{Tl|Cite map}} so it falls into the [[Help:Citation Style 1|Citation Style 1]] (CS1) series of templates, although it can be set to emulate CS2 style.

Note that unlike paper maps, Mapquest 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.

== Usage ==
<code><nowiki>{{Mapquest|url= |title= |access-date=</nowiki>{{#time: j F Y}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>

=== Parameters ===
* '''url''' – the URL for the map in question
* '''title''' – a "subtitle" for the map. The link text will appear as "<title>" if "title" is used; otherwise, it will be the page name.
* '''access-date''' – the full retrieval date.
* '''link''' – set to "no" to unlink the publisher.
*'''mode''' – set to "cs2" to use [[Help:Citation Style 2|Citation Style 2]] output
*'''ref''' – to use Harvard-style referencing.

=== Examples ===
Normal usage with automatic inclusion of page title (i.e. "{{BASEPAGENAME}}", which is taken from the template's full page title "{{FULLPAGENAME}}"):
* <code><nowiki>{{Mapquest |url=http://mapq.st/1FTTMEs |access-date=</nowiki>{{#time: j F Y}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
generates this:
* {{Mapquest|url=http://mapq.st/1FTTMEs |access-date={{date}}}}

Using the optional '''title''' parameter:
* <code><nowiki>{{Mapquest |url= http://mapq.st/1FTTMEs |title=Overview Map of M-1 |access-date=</nowiki>{{#time: j F Y}}<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>
generates this:
* {{Mapquest|url=http://mapq.st/1FTTMEs |title=Overview Map of M-1 |access-date={{date}}}}
