This can cause an error if there is more than one set of coordinates in the article. To override the display in the title, use `\|display=inline` inside of {{Coord}}. If you wish to include an additional custom {{location map}} (typically for the local area), use `\|pushpin_map=location map name` where `location map name` is the name of the location map.
