Your default web browser should open, attempting to use either the longitude and latitude coordinates or the place name to display the location using the Maps provider web site. Different map services might have different requirements for the location description.
From the {{man button|Select a Map Service}} drop down list you can choose the map service you want to use from the following three options:
* '''OpenStreetMap'''(default)- Uses longitude and latitude coordinates if present, otherwise uses city and country, or uses description of the place.
* GoogleMaps
* EniroMaps
