The template has four unnamed parameters, which generate a link as follows:

[edit] Parameters

  1. Latitude in decimal format, with or without decimal point, i.e. 40.873610 or 40873610

[edit] Example with three parameters

Don't use a trailing vertical brace when omitting the 4th parameter:

{{WikiMapia|40.873610|-74.280539|14|}}

since it will display:
