Template:Coord how-to: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 22:22, 14 December 2008

Quick "how to"
To add the coordinates 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}}
For decimal coordinates, such as 44.112°N 86.913°W, use one of {{coord\|44.112\|N\|87.913\|W\|display=title}} {{coord\|44.112\|-87.913\|display=title}}
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).
Optional parameters: region: `region:XX_` (uses ISO 3166-2 code) type: `type:XXX` [{Template:Coord#Display\|display]]: `\|display=inline,title` or variant Full example: {{coord\|44.112\|-87.913\|region:US-WI_type:landmark\|display=inline,title}}
For full details on the use of {{coord}}, see Template:Coord See also: Obtaining coordinates, coordinate conversion
