To add the coordinates 57°18′22"N 4°27′32"W to the top of an article, use
These coordinates are in the format degrees/minutes/seconds |
For decimal coordinates, such as 44.112°N 86.913°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. 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 parameters:
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 |
