This example shows how the gramplet would be used with the GOV gazetteer website to import the place '''[https://wikipedia.org/wiki/FrommenhausenFrommenhausen]''' a suburban district of Germany.

Log into the [http://gov.genealogy.net/search/index GOV gazetteer] website(Optional).

Find the appropriate GOV-id for the place of interest. In the illustration, the search for the city <code>Frommenhausen </code> was used. The result identifies the appropriate GOV-id as <code>FROSENJN48KK</code>.

Enter the GOV-id into the {{man label|GetGOV }} gramplet on the Places (List) view.

The Place hierarchy is also loaded as defined in the GOV database. This includes the {{man label|Enclosed By }} information which may be time-dependent as illustrated.
