Template:Mapquest

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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

This template is based on {{Cite map}} so it falls into the 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

{{Mapquest|url= |title= |access-date=7 April 2026}}

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 Citation Style 2 output
ref – to use Harvard-style referencing.

Examples

Normal usage with automatic inclusion of page title (i.e. "Mapquest", which is taken from the template's full page title "Template:Mapquest"):

{{Mapquest |url=http://mapq.st/1FTTMEs |access-date=7 April 2026}}

generates this:

AOL (7 April 2026). "Mapquest" (Map). Mapquest. AOL. Retrieved 7 April 2026.

Using the optional title parameter:

{{Mapquest |url= http://mapq.st/1FTTMEs |title=Overview Map of M-1 |access-date=7 April 2026}}
