Templat:Geobox
 | {{Geobox}}
This new version of the Geobox template, also known as Geobox 2, is an infobox for all types of geographical locations. It supersedes the old geobox template, Geobox 1. As of Geobox 2, there is no need for several additional templates to display particular geographical features, but rather just one template that can handle the same types of data also used in Geobox 1, along with several new features. |
