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
background maps

Other guidelines

This general, multi-purpose geobox template may duplicate features contained in various other, more specific geography and place infobox templates (like {{Infobox settlement}} for settlements, {{Infobox protected area}} for protected areas, and {{Infobox mountain}} for mountains). Editors should not change from one to the other without good reason or broad consensus.
