Purpose

This template, {{coord}}, produces a link to a list of map sources, based on the geographical coordinates and other parameters, and provides a standardized notation for the coordinates.

The template is for geographical latitude and longitude coordinates on Earth, expressed in either decimal notation, or degrees/minutes/seconds parameters of arbitrary precision.

It links to Template:Coor URL, then displays the WGS84 coordinate (latitude;longitude).

The template outputs data in:

  • Degree/minutes/seconds (precision is degrees, or degrees/minutes, or degrees/minutes/seconds, based on input)
  • Decimal (precision based on input)

The default is to display coordinates in DMS. To display coordinates in decimal, add this to your User:Username/monobook.css:

.geo-dec { display: inline } .geo-dms { display: none }

This single template supersedes {{coor d}}, {{coor dm}}, and {{coor dms}}.

See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Geographical coordinates.

Usage

{{coord|latitude|longitude}}
{{coord|dd|N/S|dd|E/W}}
{{coord|dd|mm|N/S|dd|mm|E/W}}
{{coord|dd|mm|ss|N/S|dd|mm|ss|E/W}}

Examples

{{coord|43.651234|-79.383333}}Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.(Toronto - Fully decimal - N & W )
{{coord|43.651234|N|79.383333|W}}Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.(Toronto - decimal with Northing & Westing)
{{coord|43|29||N|79|23|W}}Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.(Toronto - degrees & minutes)
{{coord|43|29|4|N|79|23|0|W}}Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.(Toronto - degrees, minutes & seconds)
{{coord|55.752222|N|37.615556|E}}Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.(Moscow - N & E)
{{coord|33|55|S|18|25|E}}Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.(Capetown - S & E)
{{coord|22|54|30|S|43|14|37|W}}Lua error: callParserFunction: function "#coordinates" was not found.(Rio - S & W)

Note to future editors

The class names geo, latitude and longitude are used to generate the microformat and MUST NOT be changed.
