To add the coordinates 57°18′22"N 4°27′32"W to the top of an article, use
|
For decimal coordinates, such as 44.112°N 86.900°W, use one of
|
| Values (including degrees, minutes and seconds) are separated by a pipe ("|"). Latitude (N/S) before longitude (E/W). Map datum is WGS84. Please don't be overly precise (0.0001° is <11 m, 1′′ is <31 m). |
