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 ...
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. The tool is primarily used to ...
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 ...
After you choose your template, you would enter in the coordinates into your chosen template using the correct coordinate format. If you chose Template:geolinks-US-buildingscale , the wiki code would look like this: {{geolinks-US-buildingscale|38.8895563|-77.0352546}} and the map would look like this: ( click to see what Washington monument map ...
Each 30-minute cell is divided into four 15-minute by 15-minute quadrants. The quadrants are numbered sequentially, from west to east, starting with the northernmost band. Specifically, the northwest quadrant is “1”; the northeast quadrant is “2”; the southwest quadrant is “3”; the southeast quadrant is “4”.
Data entered into template is validated (input validation) Less overhead (2-3 subtemplates only). Can be included numerous times in tables (an estimated 3880 times in discussed sample)
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).
To change this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used: {{Geographical coordinates | state = collapsed}} will show the template collapsed, i.e. hidden apart from its title bar. {{Geographical coordinates | state = expanded}} will show the template expanded, i.e. fully visible.
