Map and coordinates

• The location map uses the value of the |coordinates= parameter. It was previously necessary to use individual parameters for latitude and longitude, but the format was obsoleted by an RfC in August 2016 (see Help:Coordinates in infoboxes).
• The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-2 region code can often be determined automatically, based on the country= and borough= parameters. This can be overridden by specifying region:XX or region:XX-ABC in the unnamed parameter after the coordinate values.

{{Infobox station ... | coordinates         =  | map_type            =  | map_overlay         =  | AlternativeMap      =  | map_alt             =  | map_caption         =  | map_size            =  | map_dot_label       =  | map_label_position  =  ... }} 

Mapframes

This template supports mapframes. Parameter instructions:

ᱪᱷᱟᱸᱪ:Infobox mapframe/doc/parameters

External style template

An external style template may be used to allow the modification of display parameters. This can be the same template that is used in conjunction with Template:S-line, but may be a different template. The |style= parameter is used to specify the name of the template where the styling is defined; the template's name must end with the word "style", but this word must be omitted from the |style= parameter. For example, |style=STM will use the {{STM style}} template.

For systems which have an Adjacent stations module defined the |style2= parameter may be used to specify a sub-style within that system. For example, |style2=Amtrak old used with |style=Amtrak will return the pre-Acela Amtrak heritage colors from Module:Adjacent stations/Amtrak.

Embedding other infoboxes

The |embedded= or |nrhp= parameters can be used to embed another infobox with such capability like {{infobox designation list}} and {{infobox NRHP}}.

Old parameters

The following parameters are deprecated and may be removed in the future:

• ADA – If any text is placed here a universal symbol for accessibility will appear
• map_image – Allows inclusion of an image of the station location on a map (only use when a mapframe or a location map is not appropriate).

Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a Geo microformat, which additionally makes the coordinates (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a GPS unit. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

If the place or venue has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date, use {{Start date}} (unless the date is before 1583 CE).

If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

Geo is produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

Please do not rename or remove these classes; nor collapse nested elements which use them.

When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
