Template:Gbmapping

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

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:

Input	Output
{{gbmapping|SU 616 687}}	grid reference SU 616 687
{{gbmapping|cap=1|SU 616 687}}	Grid reference SU 616 687
{{gbmappingsmall|SU616687}}	SU616687
{{gbmappingsmall|SU 616 687}}	SU 616 687
{{gbmappingsmall|SU 616 687|name=Ufton Lock}}	SU 616 687
{{gbmaprim|SU 616 687|Ufton Lock}}	Ufton Lock
{{gbmapscaled|SU616687|200|editor-selectable scale}}	editor-selectable scale
{{oscoor gbx|461600_168700}}	Map sources for Gbmapping

The "prim" part of "gbmaprim" stands for primitive—gbmapping calls gbmaprim to actually create the link.

Named arguments

• |name= a title for the location on the GeoHack page, also used by {{GeoGroup}}

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:

1. please provide a link to the map sources page as well somewhere in the article
2. be aware that the external link may change or may look different to someone else, e.g. multimap comes up at different sizes.

Input	Output
{{GBvosi|e=462500|n=168100|cty=|txt= this map printed in 1883}}	this map printed in 1883 [this template no longer works] (at old-maps.co.uk)
{{mmukpc|PE21|0NB}}	PE21 0NB(at multimap—useful for railway station articles—but not much else)
