Forum:Syntax for tag:googlemap when a marker, path or area is involved

If you have read this extension help page then you will be familiar with the  syntax that must be used when the   tags are to be used inside a template. The above help page explains the syntax for specifying attributes of the googlemap tag but it does not explain the syntax for specifying markers, paths or areas.

I wish to use a template to (i) standardize several attributes and (ii) insert a labeled marker at the same lat/long that is used for the map's initial center point. The first part is straight forward but the second part is pure guesswork at this stage.

If you have successfully used template parameter(s) to pass data for defining markers, paths or areas then please share that syntax here. (This would be a good addition to the Help:Google maps article.)
