Find the coordinates (generally latitude and longitude) of the geographic location you want to link; Select the template with the appropriate scale for the map to zoom into; Add the coordinates to the template using the template's format; Place the template reference into the article; Suggestions for accomplishing each step are below.
In geodesy, geographic coordinate conversion is defined as translation among different coordinate formats or map projections all referenced to the same geodetic datum. [1] A geographic coordinate transformation is a translation among different geodetic datums. Both geographic coordinate conversion and transformation will be considered in this ...
Wikitech-l Extensions for handling geographical coordinates; Templates. Template:Coor Maidenhead (displays geographical coordinates as Maidenhead grid squares) Template:Canada NTS Grid (displays designator for National Topographic System map sheet containing specified geographical coordinates) Template:Sky (the same idea for astronomical objects)
Blue Marble's first software product, the Geographic Calculator, [2] was developed in 1992 and released in 1993. The Geographic Calculator is a coordinate conversion library with a database of coordinate mathematical objects including projections, coordinate systems, datums, ellipsoids, linear and angular units.
uses of older templates are currently being migrated to this format using a bot; Data entered into template is validated (input validation) One template for all input formats; named parameters for coordinates (NS=/EW=) named parameters for type/region/globe etc. Less overhead (5-10 subtemplates only). can display text/icons instead of coordinates
Encodes the latitude and longitude coordinates of a location, provides a link to map of the location. This template does not work well with the Visual Editor, consider using {{coordDec}} for signed decimal degrees, {{coordDMS}} when degrees minutes and seconds are specified {{coordDM}} when only degrees and minutes are specified. To use this template you will need to use positional parameter ...
This template is primarily intended for the mass conversion of coordinate sets in lists. For individual sets of coordinates, the online conversion tool provided by Swisstopo may be preferred. For extended documentation, see de:Vorlage:CH1903-WGS84, from where this template has been copied.
Maps are useful in presenting key facts within a geographical context and enabling a descriptive overview of a complex concept to be accessed easily and quickly. WikiProject Maps encourages the creation of free maps and their upload on Wikimedia Commons. On the project's pages can be found advice, tools, links to resources, and map conventions.
