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)
