COMMENT (1 of 1): Under "geo", Nita added "showmap", which had appeared on many method pages. Please validate that that is correct. Also, you need to supply the "gray" information (e.g., string, positive number).-->
<!--COMMENT: We have struggled a bit deciding between the definite article "the" or the indefinite article "a" in passages such as "Whether the/a user can like." We hope we have not corrupted the meaning technically. Please assess these passages carefully. -KS
