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 http://stable.toolserver.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=Template:Coord/doc¶ms=, 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 }
To display coordinates in both formats, add this to your monobook.css:
.geo-default { display: inline } .geo-nondefault { display: inline }
.geo-dec { display: inline } .geo-dms { display: inline }
.geo-multi-punct { display: inline }
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
(These are live geo-microformats and should be detected on this page by parsers)
| {{coord|43.651234|-79.383333}} | Toronto - Fully decimal - N & W | |
| {{coord|43.65|-79.38}} | Toronto - less precise | |
| {{coord|43.6500|-79.3800}} | Toronto - medium precision with trailing zeroes | |
| {{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 | |
| {{coord|22|S|43|W}} |
Class names
The class names geo, latitude and longitude are used to generate the microformat and MUST NOT be changed.
