The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:" image1 = United States San Francisco Bay Area location map.svg An alternative map image, usually a relief map, which can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters; top = 38.2033 Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees; bottom = 37.1897 Latitude at bottom edge of map, in ...
The Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) is a map projection system for assigning coordinates to locations on the surface of the Earth.Like the traditional method of latitude and longitude, it is a horizontal position representation, which means it ignores altitude and treats the earth surface as a perfect ellipsoid.
An alternative map image, usually a relief map, which can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters; top = 52 Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees; bottom = 48 Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees; left = -6.5 Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees; right = 2.4 Longitude at right edge of map ...
EPSG:4326 - WGS 84, latitude/longitude coordinate system based on the Earth's center of mass, used by the Global Positioning System among others. EPSG:3857 - Web Mercator projection used for display by many web-based mapping tools, including Google Maps and OpenStreetMap.
For example, on a GEOREF chart, Naval Air Station Patuxent River (38°17′10″N 76°24′42″W) / (38.286108, -76.4291704) is located (to the nearest minute) at position GJPJ3417. To locate the position from the coordinates, proceed as follows: Right from 180° longitude to longitude zone G; Up from the South Pole to latitude zone J
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.
Geodetic latitude and geocentric latitude have different definitions. Geodetic latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and the surface normal at a point on the ellipsoid, whereas geocentric latitude is defined as the angle between the equatorial plane and a radial line connecting the centre of the ellipsoid to a point on the surface (see figure).
