More options

we might want to discuss these eventually

• using the less cluttered Template:Graticule2. It has two parameters lat and lon instead of map which requires a tag as parameter. You can still use map if you have any special image to be displayed. We could even move the template to the old name Template:Graticule
• using the <mapimg> tag instead of <map> saves a bit of space. (fifth example on the right)

25,53	Sirri Island, IR	Dubai
Al Marfa	Abu Dhabi	Al Ain
Madinat Zayed	Tharwaniyyah	Al Qabil, OM
<mapimg lat="24" lon="54" />
