Display a marker on a map using a template and geographic coordinates
A marker can be superimposed on a map using one of a set of special map templates. To display a marker, the geographic coordinates must be specified using the Coord template inside the coordinates parameter. See the documentation for Location map. The parameters for this template map to a subset of the parameters used by. A map template can be found using these sources:
 * List of templates – Many of the listed items are redirects and a few templates may not function as expected.
 * Category:Location map templates - templates sorted by category.
 * Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:Location map/Info – a search that might help.
 * Special:PrefixIndex/Module:Location map/data/ – another search that might help.
 * Special:Prefixindex/Template:Location map – another search that might help.

All of the names begin with the words "Location map" followed by the area covered. The value you need to specify is the area name. The map template for Canada is Location map/data/Canada. In this case specify Canada.

By default, Coord displays in the infobox only in the page title. Parameter inline,title can be added to make the coordinates display at the top of the page as well.

Template embedding
This template can be embedding in another infobox template by adding the code. To embed another template in this one use.

Microformat
The articles created using this template include an hCard microformat. For more information read this.
