Sets the preferred map region of coverage, used in selecting appropriate map resources for the area. If no region parameter is supplied, Geohack attempts to determine it from the coordinates.

The region should be supplied as either a two character ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code or an ISO 3166-2 region code. For example:

In addition, two user-assigned code elements can used with {{coord}}:

  • XZ for objects in/above international waters (similar to UN/LOCODE)
  • ZZ for use in samples
