The template generates an information box with links to this maps:
- Map of all coordinates from OSM

The template scans all file description pages of the files in the used category or article regarding geotagged informations. The pages are scanned, looking for entries of the templates {{Object location}} and {{Location}} to collect the geolocation informations of object and camera locations. As a result a map is shown with a layer presenting icons of all object and camera locations.
