Template:Coord/doc
Purpose
This template, {{coord}}, produces a link to a list of map sources, based on the geographical coordinates and other parameters, and provides a standardized notation for the coordinates.
The template is for WGS84 geographical coordinates (latitude;longitude) on Earth, which can be entered in either decimal notation, or degrees/minutes/seconds parameters, with the appropriate precision.
It links to Template:Coor URL, then displays the coordinates.
The template outputs data in:
- Degree/minutes/seconds ("DMS", precision is degrees, or degrees/minutes, or degrees/minutes/seconds, based on input)
- Decimal (precision by number of decimal places, based on input)
A computer-readable Geo microformat.
By default coordinates are displayed in the format in which they are specified.
To always display coordinates as DMS values, add this to your your monobook.css:
.geo-default { display: inline } .geo-nondefault { display: inline }
.geo-dec { display: none } .geo-dms { display: inline }
To always display coordinates as decimal values, add this to your monobook.css:
.geo-default { display: inline } .geo-nondefault { display: inline }
.geo-dec { display: inline } .geo-dms { display: none }
This single template supersedes {{coor d}}, {{coor dm}}, and {{coor dms}}.

Usage
{{coord|latitude|longitude}}
{{coord|dd|N/S|dd|E/W}}
{{coord|dd|mm|N/S|dd|mm|E/W}}
{{coord|dd|mm|ss|N/S|dd|mm|ss|E/W}}

The class names geo, latitude and longitude are used to generate the microformat and MUST NOT be changed.
