To add 57°18′22"N 4°27′32"W to the top of an article, use
{{coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W|display=title}}

These coordinates are in degrees | minutes | seconds (dms) format.

To add 44.112°N 86.913°W to the top of an article, use either
{{coord|44.112|N|87.913|W|display=title}}

or

{{coord|44.112|-87.913|display=title}}

These coordinates are in decimal degrees.

  • Degrees, minutes and seconds are separated by a pipe ("|").
  • Latitude (N/S) must appear before longitude (E/W).
  • Map datum should be WGS84.
  • To display the coordinates in the article as well, use display=inline,title instead of display=title.
  • Avoid excessive precision (0.0001° is <11 m, 1′′ is <31 m).
Optional coordinate parameters are separated by an underscore ("_"):
Other optional parameters are separated by a pipe ("|"):
  • display: display=inline,title or variant
  • name: name=Xxxx

Full example: {{coord|44.117|-87.913|dim:30_region:US-WI_type:landmark|display=inline,title|name=Klann Road}}

For more detail, refer to {{Coord/doc}}
