Map and coordinates
It is usually not necessary to use the  parameter, or the optional   parameter.
 * The latitude and longitude of the station may be specified:
 * in decimal degrees, using  and   OR
 * in degrees/minutes/seconds, using,  ,  ,  ,  ,  ,  , and.
 * To display coordinates at the top of the page, use . Otherwise coordinates will appear in the infobox only.
 * To change the format of the coordinates from DMS to decimal or vice versa, use  or.
 * The ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 or ISO 3166-2 region code can often be determined automatically, based on the  parameter.
 * To override the automatic value, use the  parameter.

One advantage of omitting the  and the   parameters is that you can display a Location map without duplicating coordinates.




 * Parameters to specify coordinates in degrees, minutes, and seconds of arc:




 * Parameters to specify coordinates in decimal degrees:



Note: coordinates in decimal degrees are sensitive to extra whitespace in the parameters:
 * Incorrect:
 * Correct:

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, Amtrak will use the template.

Embedding other infoboxes
The  parameter can be used to embed another infobox with such capability like designation list and infobox NRHP.
