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 geographical latitude and longitude coordinates on Earth, expressed in either decimal notation, or degrees/minutes/seconds parameters of arbitrary precision.
It links to http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Template:Coord/doc¶ms=, then displays the WGS84 coordinate (latitude;longitude).
The template outputs data in:
- Degree/minutes/seconds (precision is degrees, or degrees/minutes, or degrees/minutes/seconds, based on input)
- Decimal (precision based on input)
- Computer-readable Geo microformat
The default is to display coordinates in DMS. To display coordinates in decimal, add this to your User:Username/monobook.css:
.geo-dec { display: inline } .geo-dms { display: none }
This single template supersedes {{coor d}}, {{coor dm}}, and {{coor dms}}.
See also Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)#Geographical coordinates.
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}}
Examples
| {{coord|43.651234|-79.383333}} | (Toronto - Fully decimal - N & W ) | |
| {{coord|43.651234|N|79.383333|W}} | (Toronto - decimal with Northing & Westing) | |
| {{coord|43|29||N|79|23|W}} | (Toronto - degrees & minutes) | |
| {{coord|43|29|4|N|79|23|0|W}} | (Toronto - degrees, minutes & seconds) | |
| {{coord|55.752222|N|37.615556|E}} | (Moscow - N & E) | |
| {{coord|33|55|S|18|25|E}} | (Capetown - S & E) | |
| {{coord|22|54|30|S|43|14|37|W}} | (Rio - S & W) |
Note to future editors
The class names geo, latitude and longitude are used to generate the microformat and MUST NOT be changed.
