Template:Cite Google Maps/doc

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

The template accepts all parameters that cite map does, unless yes, in which case it accepts all parameters that cite web does. This template can also be set to emulate Citation Style 2 (CS2) style, via cs2.

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.

Parameters

 * url – the URL for the map in question
 * title – a "subtitle" for the map. The link text will appear as " " 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 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
