The route diagram templates encompass a main container, named {{Routemap}}. This system provides a uniform layout for route-map infoboxes, mainly for railway lines but also for other modes of transport such as waterways. The more efficient {{Routemap}} template has now replaced {{BS-map}} and its auxiliary templates, many of which started with "BS-".

Each map was built as a stack of rows, whose most significant part was a cell lining up one or several square or rectangular icons. There are more than 6,000 of these elementary pictograms, which are still used by {{Routemap}}. Several methods were provided to add text to each row and comments to individual graphic cells.
