Tips
Google Maps and other similar dynamic maps such as Apple Map, are interactive maps where you can alter what you see according to the data that you enter. This means they have no published date or formal title. For date use “n.d.” and for the title, create a brief description of the map in square brackets. Always include a retrieval date before the URL.
