A coordinate system conversion is a conversion from one coordinate system to another, with both coordinate systems based on the same geodetic datum. Common conversion tasks include conversion between geodetic and earth-centered, earth-fixed coordinates and conversion from one type of map projection to another.
Decimal degrees (DD) is a notation for expressing latitude and longitude geographic coordinates as decimal fractions of a degree. DD are used in many geographic information systems (GIS), web mapping applications such as OpenStreetMap, and GPS devices. Decimal degrees are an alternative to using degrees-minutes-seconds notation. As with ...
Has geographic coordinates for airports, heliports, and other facilities which have an IATA or ICAO code. You can also search by location name. Plexscape WS: Google Maps tool – Coordinate converter: Online application to acquire coordinates for any place on Earth. Supports more than 3,000 coordinate systems and 400 datums worldwide.
A single unambiguous representation instead of the three (3) formats of latitude and longitude, each in widespread use, and each having punctuation sub-variants: degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS): N 38°53'23.3", W 077°02'11.6" degrees-minutes-decimal minutes (DMM or DDM): 38°53.388' N, 077°02.193' W
coordinates are used to replace {{coord missing}} with {} with the parameter display=title; dms or decimal format is kept, format=dms can be added to decimal coordinates; negative coordinates followed by N or E are converted to positive coordinates followed by S or W; coordinates are not imported if: degrees are out of range (90°/180°)
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 ...
coordinate parameters all gobbled up; display=title, display=inline,title lengthy; Many subtemplates (15-20). Its post-expand include size limits the number of coordinates that can be included in lists (689 times in sample discussed below) rounding problems for dms display; d/m/s are entered in separate fields; not supported by mediawiki
