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}} Andoza:Gbmapscaled
{{oscoor gbx|461600_168700}} Andoza:Oscoor gbx

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

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.

{{GBvosi|e=462500|n=168100|cty=|txt=
this map printed in 1883}}
