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.
(Don't be fooled by Special:Whatlinkshere/Template:Mmukpc prim - this template is now used by very few railway station articles - and should not be used with a post code.)

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.
