< Template:Cite Google Maps

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Paine Ellsworth (talk | contribs) at 21:35, 13 September 2023 (High-use template + fmt). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This template is used for referencing maps published by Google LLC through their Google Maps service.

This template can also be set to emulate Citation Style 2 (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.

Usage

{{Google maps|url= |title= |access-date=3 November 2024}}

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.
  • access-date – the full retrieval date.
  • SV – set to "yes" to change the website from Google Maps to Google Street View.
    • date – date of Street View photography; only required when |SV=yes.
  • link – set to "no" to unlink the publisher.
  • mode – set to "cs2" to use CS2 output (lower case only)
  • ref: for Harvard-style referencing, if necessary
    • letter: a letter to append to a date or year for Harvard-style referencing, if necessary

Examples

Normal usage with automatic inclusion of page title (i.e. "Cite Google Maps", which is taken from the template's full page title "Template:Cite 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 |access-date= 3 November 2024}}

generates this:

  • "Cite Google Maps" (Map). Google Maps. Retrieved 3 November 2024.

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 |access-date= 3 November 2024}}

generates this:

For Google Street View imagery:
