{{Coord}} provides a standard notation for encoding locations by theirlatitude andlongitude coordinates. It is primarily for specifying theWGS84 geographic coordinates of locations onEarth, at the same time emitting a machine-readableGeo microformat. However, it can also encode locations on natural satellites, dwarf planets, and planets other than Earth.
Latitude and longitude may be specified (with appropriate precision) either in decimal notation or as degrees/minutes/seconds. By default, coordinates appear in the format used to specify them. However, theformat= parameter can be used to force display in a particular format.
The template displays the formatted coordinates with ahyperlink toGeoHack. GeoHack displays information customized to the location, including links to external mapping services.
Forterrestrial locations, a blue globe (
) appears to the left of the hyperlink. Clicking on the globe activates theWikiMiniAtlas (requiresJavaScript).
By default, coordinates appear "in line" with the adjacent text. However, thedisplay= parameter can be used to move the coordinates up near the page title—or display them in both places at once.
The template outputs coordinates in three formats:
Logged-in users can customize how coordinates appear in their browsers.
{{coord|latitude|longitude|coordinate parameters|template parameters}}{{coord|dd|N/S|dd|E/W|coordinate parameters|template parameters}}{{coord|dd|mm|N/S|dd|mm|E/W|coordinate parameters|template parameters}}{{coord|dd|mm|ss|N/S|dd|mm|ss|E/W|coordinate parameters|template parameters}}The hemisphere identifiers (N/S) and (E/W), if used, must be adjacent to the enclosing pipe "|" characters, and cannot be preceded or succeeded by spaces.
There are two kinds of parameters, all optional:
display=inline – Display the coordinate inline (default)display=title – Display the coordinate near the page titledisplay=tdisplay=inline,title – Display the coordinate both inline and at titledisplay=itdisplay=title,inline has the same effect asdisplay=inline,titletitle attribute indicates that the coordinates apply to the entire page, and not just one of (perhaps many) places mentioned in it — so it should only be omitted in the latter case.format=dec reformats the coordinates todecimal degrees format.format=dms reformats the coordinates todegrees | minutes | seconds format.{{coord|43.651234|-79.383333}} | 43°39′04″N79°23′00″W / 43.651234°N 79.383333°W /43.651234; -79.383333 | Toronto – Fully decimal – N & W |

The first unnamed parameter following the longitude is an optional string of coordinate parameters, separated by underscores. These parameters helpGeoHack select suitable map resources, and they will become more important whenWikimaps becomes fully functional.
Thetype: parameter specifies the type of location for reverse mapping (for instance, to select a marker icon in theWikiMiniAtlas).
It also sets themap scale, which can however be overridden bydim: orscale:.
Valid types are:
| T | Description | Map scale |

Thescale: parameter specifies the desiredmap scale as 1:N, overriding the scale implied by anytype: parameter.
GeoHack usesscale: to select a map scale for a 72dpi computer monitor. If nodim:,type:, orscale: parameters are provided, GeoHack uses its default scale of 1:300,000.

Thedim: parameter defines thediameter of a viewing circle centered on the coordinate. While the default unit of measurement is meters, thekm suffix may be appended to indicate kilometers.
GeoHack usesdim: to select amap scale such that the viewing circle appears roughly 10 centimeters (4 in) in diameter on a 72dpi computer monitor. If nodim:,type:, orscale: parameters are provided, GeoHack uses its default viewing circle of 30 kilometers (19 mi).

Theregion: parameter specifies the political region for terrestrial coordinates. It is used to select appropriate map resources. If noregion: parameter is provided,GeoHack attempts to determine the region from the coordinates.
The region should be supplied as either a two characterISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code or anISO 3166-2 region code.
Examples ofISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes:

For globes other than Earth, {{coord}} does not assume a specific reference system (in contrast with Earth's WGS84). Since the template defaults to east longitude, the|W| direction must be specified for globes that measure longitude westward. At the present time, only limited mapping is available for Mars and the Moon and none for other extraterrestrial bodies.
Specifies, where present, the data source and data source format/datum, and optionally the original data, presented in parentheses. This is initially primarily intended for use by geotagging robots, so that data is not blindly repeatedly copied from format to format and Wikibooks to Wikibooks, with progressive loss of precision and attributability.
Examples:
To always display coordinates as DMS values, add this toyour common.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 toyour common.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 toyour common.css:
.geo-default { display: inline }
.geo-nondefault { display: inline }
.geo-dec { display: inline }
.geo-dms { display: inline }
.geo-multi-punct { display: inline }If CSS is disabled, or you have an old copy ofMediaWiki:Common.css cached, you will see both formats. (You can either clear your cache or manually refresh this URL:[1].)
To disable display of the blue globe adjacent to coordinates, add this toyour common.js
var wma_settings = {enabled:false}Note that this will disableWikiMiniAtlas.
The following templates are "subroutines" of {{Coord}}. Separating them out drastically reduces the pre-expand size of {{Coord}}. They shouldn't be invoked directly.
