Templates creating links to a Map sources page

What to type What it makes
{{gbmapping|SU616687}} grid reference Template:OS coord
{{gbmappingsmall|SU616687}} SU616687
{{gbmaprim|SU616687|Ufton Lock}} Template:OS coord
{{gbmapscaled|SU616687|200|editor-selectable scale}} Template:OS coord
{{oscoor gbx|461600_168700}} Template:Oscoor gbx


All the above templates now create a link to a "Map sources" page which includes a link to the Getamap service - see Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates.

The "prim" part of "gbmaprim" stands for primitive - the other two gbmap… templates call gbmaprim to actually create the link.

Templates creating direct links to specific websites

What to type What it makes
{{getamap|SP871352|Denbigh Sports Ground}} Template:Getamap (OS getamap)
{{GBvosi|e=462500|n=168100|cty=|txt=
this map printed in 1883}}
this map printed in 1883 (at old-maps.co.uk)
{{mmuknr photo|518000|321500|50|aerial photo}} Template:Mmuknr photo (multimap)
{{mmukpc|PE21|0NB}} Template:Mmukpc (at multimap - useful for railway station articles - but not much else)

These templates are provided for any editor who wishes to illustrate a particular point being made in an article. If you use them:

  • please provide a link to the map sources page as well somewhere in the article
  • be aware that the external link may change or may look different to someone else, eg. multimap comes up at different sizes.
