Including WP:Route diagram template in map parameter

There are reports that route map using WP:Route diagram template included in the infobox "breaks apart" in browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 like the left one. This issue doesn't exist under browser like IE8, Firefox or Opera by their default font and margin preferences.

breaking rows fixed
Template:PAGENAMEBASE
Route map
Template:Needhammap
Template:PAGENAMEBASE
Route map

Use template {{infobox rdt}} if break occurs on every row:

map = {{Infobox rdt|ROUTE DIAGRAM TEMPLATE NAME}}

If some of the row of route map made with WP:ROUTE set (not entirely) breaks apart, possibly the infobox width is too short and forcing some of the text description within the route diagram template to soft return. Increase the box_width parameter, or putting auto will solve this problem.
