Including WP:Route diagram template in map parameter
There are reports that route map using WP:Route diagram template included in the infobox "breaks apart" in browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer like the left one. This issue doesn't exist under browser like Firefox or Opera by their default font preferences.

To solve this row breaking issue, use template {{infobox rdt}} like this:
map = {{Infobox rdt|ROUTE DIAGRAM TEMPLATE NAME}}
If some of the row (not entirely) still breaks, possibly the infobox width is too short and forcing some of the text description within the route diagram template to return. Increase the box_width parameter, or putting auto
will solve this problem.
