| This is a documentation subpage for Template:Google maps. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is used for referencing maps published by Google, Inc. through their Google Maps 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, 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.
Contents
Usage
{{Google maps|url= |title= |accessdate=20 January 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.
- accessdate – the full retrieval date.
- link – set to "no" to unlink the publisher.
- mode – set to "cs2" to use Citation Style 2 output
Examples
Normal usage with automatic inclusion of page title (i.e. "Google maps", which is taken from the template's full page title "Template:Google maps/doc"):
{{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|accessdate=20 January 2026}}
generates this:
- Google (20 January 2026). "Google maps" (Map). Google Maps. Google. Retrieved 20 January 2026.
Using the optional title parameter:
{{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|accessdate=20 January 2026 }}
generates this:
- Google (20 January 2026). "Driving directions to RT-308" (Map). Google Maps. Google. Retrieved 20 January 2026.
