This template is a Citation Style 1 specific-source template based on {{ Cite map}}. For centralised Citation Style 1 discussions, see Help talk:Citation Style 1.

This template is used for referencing maps published by Microsoft through their Bing Maps service.

It can also be set to emulate CS2 style.

Note that unlike paper maps, Bing Maps 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.

This template is a Citation Style 1 wrapper template based on {{ Cite map}}. For centralised Citation Style 1 discussions, see Help talk:Citation Style 1.

Usage

This template accepts all parameters that {{ cite map}} does.

This code:

{{Bing maps |url=http://binged.it/Q06Ih9 |title=Grand Rapids, MI |access-date=15 June 2024}}

generates this:

Microsoft; Nokia. "Grand Rapids, MI" (Map). Bing Maps. Microsoft. Retrieved 15 June 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.
