This template is to facilitate linking to Google Maps. The general format for Google maps addresses on WikiSpooks is:

  • http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:[latitude,longitude] &z=15

where "latitude" and "longitude" are decimal number coordinates and represented in the template as a single parameter consisting of the decimal latitude and longitude coordinates separated by a comma.

The "q=loc:" and "&z=15" are fixed by the template to ensure that a location marker is included on the map and the initial zoom level is set to 15

Its usage is (copy and paste)

{{Maplink|Coordinates}}

Replacing "Coordinates" with the decimal longitude and latitude coordinates separated by a comma as in 40.12345,120.3456 Map
