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 86.900°W, use one of
{{coord|44.112|N|86.900|W|display=title}}
{{coord|44.112|-86.900|display=title}}
which will truncate any trailing zeros, resulting in
misleading precision by showing −86.9 rather than −86.900
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).
