This template is used for referencing maps published by Microsoft through their Bing Maps service.

It can also be set to emulate CS2 style.

Note that unlike paper maps, Bing Maps 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

This:

  • {{Bing maps |url=http://binged.it/Q06Ih9 |title=Grand Rapids, MI |access-date=21 March 2026}}

generates this:

  • Microsoft; Nokia (21 March 2026). "Grand Rapids, MI" (Map). Bing Maps. Microsoft. Retrieved 21 March 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 authors.
  • mode: set to "cs2" to use Citation Style 2 output
  • last-author-amp: to join the authors with an ampersand (&) instead of a semicolon (;) for consistency with other citations in an article
