Template:Cite Google Maps/doc

< Template:Cite Google Maps

This template is used for referencing maps published by Google LLC through their Google Maps service.

The template accepts all parameters that {{cite map}} does, unless |SV=yes, in which case it accepts all parameters that {{cite web}} does. This template can also be set to emulate Citation Style 2 (CS2) style, via |mode=cs2.

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.

Usage

edit

{{Cite Google Maps|url= |title= |access-date=23 June 2024}}

Parameters

edit
  • 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.
  • SV – set to "yes" to change the website from Google Maps to Google Street View.
    • date – date of Street View photography; only required when |SV=yes.
  • link – set to "no" to unlink the publisher.
  • mode – set to "cs2" to use CS2 output (lower case only)
  • ref: for Harvard-style referencing, if necessary
    • letter: a letter to append to a date or year for Harvard-style referencing, if necessary

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

generates this:

  • Google (23 June 2024). "Cite Google Maps" (Map). Google Maps. Google. Retrieved 23 June 2024.

Using the optional "title" parameter:

  • {{Cite 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= 23 June 2024}}
