Location maps

The map parameter can be used to display a map with a location marker.

{{Infobox islands
| name = Santa Catalina Island
| map = USA California
| map_width=220
| lat_d=33   | lat_m=23  |lat_s=00  |lat_NS=N
| long_d=118 | long_m=25 |long_s=00 |long_EW=W
| display          = inline
| location         = [[Pacific Ocean]]
| country          = United States
}}

The map_caption parameter can be used to display a caption below the map. A width of 220px is generally recommended but this width should be reduced for maps that are taller than they are wide. Use width=220 and not width=220px.
