This template displays links to the popular web mapping service Google (and previously Bing) on articles, and when coupled with the content of a KML file produces a route line on those maps. If the "KML file" offer is clicked on, a file index.php will be presented for download containing the KML content; such a file will be ignored by the Google Earth system unless renamed, to index.kml for example.
As KML files cannot currently be uploaded, the text of those files must be copied into a Wikipedia page:
KML files can also be stored on other wikis which are connected to Wikidata.
{{Attached KML}}
Simply placing the template in an article generates a box, as seen above—but using the article's related KML file (as found through Wikidata, if available). This is best placed in the External links section, or near the end of an article.
{{Attached KML

|from=
|display=

|title=
}}
|wikidata=Qnumber

with the text of the KML file.
Template:Attached KML/Another title

|from=Another title

- Only displays the box (you can forego this, as box-only is the default)|display=title
- Only displays the title links|display=inline,title
- Displays the box as well as title links|display=title,inline
- Same as above|header=
short text to appear at the top of the side box when using display=inline (end with <br /><nowiki />
to force a new line after the header)|title=
to show a different title to show next to the top links (when using title display mode), if "Route map" is not suitable
This template is intended for linear features:
and can also be used for polygon features, to highlight an area within a boundary (parks, towns, etc.)
