{{Tl|GEOnet3}} generates an external link to a search page for the [[GEOnet Names Server]] (GNS), published by the [[National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency]] (NGA). It includes the GEOnet [[Unique Feature Identifier]] (UFI) in search instructions which are displayed with the link. This template can be used as a replacement for {{Tl|GEOnet}}, which generates a direct link that no longer works.
