@Jonesey95 and Tagishsimon: Do either of you know how to display a pushpin/locator map within infobox bridge? I've been trying in preview mode but can't figure out the right parameter combination. Any help would be much appreciated. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:28, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Ponte Vecchio has one using parameters within the template. Tacoma Narrows Bridge has one using the Extra parameter, into which is stuffed another template, by the looks of it. Do any of these help? --Tagishsimon (talk) 22:53, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

(basically the same answer as Tagishsimon just gave you:) It appears that if |map_type= is used (see Blackfriars Bridge), a red dot is displayed by default. Is that good enough? It looks like |extra= with a template also works, as in Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Memorial Bridge, but that seems like an unnecessary hack. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:00, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

@Jonesey95 and Tagishsimon: Thank you, both. I can't figure out how to change the caption, but at least now a map is displayed. Thanks again! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 23:07, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

Add a parameter | map_caption= and you should be good. I managed to get the map inserted and the dot working at about the same time as you, after quite some faffing about. --Tagishsimon (talk) 23:11, 11 July 2016 (UTC)

@Tagishsimon:
