Templates creating links to a Map sources page
All of these templates create a link to a "Map sources" page, using the British Ordnance Survey National Grid:
| 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 |
The "prim" part of "gbmaprim" stands for primitive - gbmapping calls gbmaprim to actually create the link.
Templates creating direct links to specific websites
These templates are provided for any editor who wishes to illustrate a particular point being made in an article, they should not be used as a replacement for a map sources link. 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.
| What to type | What it makes |
| {{GBvosi|e=462500|n=168100|cty=|txt= this map printed in 1883}} |
this map printed in 1883 (at old-maps.co.uk) |
| {{mmukpc|PE21|0NB}} | Template:Mmukpc(at multimap - useful for railway station articles - but not much else) |
