| 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. |
| File:OOjs UI icon information-progressive.svg | This template is a Citation Style 1 specific-source template based on {{Cite map}}. For centralised Citation Style 1 discussions, see Help talk:Citation Style 1. |
This template is used for referencing maps published by Google, Inc. through their Google Maps service.
This template can also 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=18 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=18 January 2026}}
generates this:
- Google (18 January 2026). "Google maps" (Map). Google Maps. Google. Retrieved 18 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=18 January 2026 }}
generates this:
- Google (18 January 2026). "Driving directions to RT-308" (Map). Google Maps. Google. Retrieved 18 January 2026.
