{{Documentation subpage}}

== Purpose ==
These geoboxes were created:
* To provide a means for creating consistently-formatted tables and summarizing information
* To improve navigation between articles within closely-related subjects
* To maximize the ease of creating and upgrading infoboxes
* To improve the ease of transferring information to other language Wikipedias by using standardized, database-like fields

== Usage ==
See [[Template:Geobox/sample]].

== Features ==

* no need to format the input data in any way; it is handled by the template
* automated locator dot placement on maps, based on coordinates or X/Y values
* automated unit conversion from metric to imperial or reverse
* automated wikilinking
* additional fields
* automated country and state flags
* background maps
* foldable list on all multiple fields
* international categories, (e.g., [[World Heritage Site]]), eliminating the need for a second infobox on the same page
