==Purpose==
{{Tld|Coord}} provides a standard notation for encoding locations by their {{w|latitude}} and {{w|longitude}} coordinates. It is primarily for specifying the {{w|World Geodetic System|WGS84}} geographic coordinates of locations on {{w||Earth}}, at the same time emitting a machine-readable {{w|Geo (microformat)|Geo microformat}}. However, it can also encode locations on natural satellites, dwarf planets, and planets other than Earth.
{{tlf|Coord}} provides a standard notation for encoding locations by their [[latitude]] and [[longitude]] coordinates. It is primarily for specifying the [[World Geodetic System|WGS84]] geographic coordinates of locations on [[Earth]], at the same time emitting a machine-readable [[Geo (microformat)|Geo microformat]]. However, it can also encode locations on natural satellites, dwarf planets, and planets other than Earth.

==Features==
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, the <code>format=</code> parameter can be used to force display in a particular format.  
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, the <code>format=</code> parameter can be used to force display in a particular format.  The template also accepts and displays coordinates formatted as degrees and decimal minutes as found on charts and maritime references.


The template displays the formatted coordinates with a [[hyperlink]] to {{w|tswiki:GeoHack|GeoHack}}. GeoHack displays information customized to the location, including links to external mapping services.
The template displays the formatted coordinates with a [[hyperlink]] to [[mw:GeoHack|GeoHack]]. GeoHack displays information customized to the location, including links to external mapping services.


For {{W|Earth|terrestrial}} locations, a blue globe ([[Image:Erioll_world.svg|18px]]) appears to the left of the hyperlink. Clicking on the globe activates the [[:metawikipedia:WikiMiniAtlas|WikiMiniAtlas]] (requires {{W|JavaScript}}).
For terrestrial locations, a blue globe ([[Image:Erioll_world.svg|18px]]) appears to the left of the hyperlink. Clicking on the globe activates the [[:meta:WikiMiniAtlas|WikiMiniAtlas]] (requires [[JavaScript]]).


By default, coordinates appear "in line" with the adjacent text.  However, the <code>display=</code> parameter can be used to move the coordinates up near the page title—or display them in both places at once.
By default, coordinates appear "in line" with the adjacent text.  However, the <code>display=</code> parameter can be used to move the coordinates up near the page title (in desktop view only; title coordinates do not display in mobile view)—or display them in both places at once.


The template outputs coordinates in three formats:
The template outputs coordinates in three formats:
* Degree/minutes/seconds ("DMS", precision is degrees, or degrees/minutes, or degrees/minutes/seconds, based on input precision).
* [[Degree (angle)|Degree]]/[[Minute of arc|minutes]]/[[Second of arc|seconds]] ("DMS", precision is degrees, or degrees/minutes, or degrees/minutes/seconds, based on input precision).
* Decimal degrees (varying the number of decimal places based on input precision)
* [[Decimal degrees]] (varying the number of decimal places based on input precision)
* A machine readable {{w|Geo (microformat)|Geo microformat}}.
* A machine readable [[Geo (microformat)|Geo microformat]].


Logged-in users can customize how coordinates appear in their browsers.
Additional features
* Logged-in users can [[#Per-user_display_customization|customize]] how coordinates appear in their browsers.
* You can get coordinates from Wikidata by transcluding this template without any numbered arguments.
* You can extract information from the Coord template for use in mathematical expressions. For details, see [[:Module:Coordinates]].
* All coordinates used in a page through this template are registered in the [[mw:API:Geosearch|geosearch API]]. If a coordinate is using title display, then these coordinates will be marked as the primary coordinates with regards to the page and therefore the topic of that page.


==Caveats==
==Caveats==
Tools which read Wikipedia database dumps (such as {{w|Google Earth}}) often ignore inline coordinates. To ensure that coordinates are seen by these tools, one set should be displayed in the title. See [http://support.google.com/earth/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=2395280 How do I get my Wikipedia article to show up in the Google Earth Geographic Web layer?].  However, if multiple title coordinates appear on a single page, they will overlap, making them illegible.
The template '''must not''' be modified without prior discussion. External tools can depend on the format of both the wikitext and/or the generated html.
 
==Superseded templates==
 
This single template supersedes {{tl|coor d}}, (and others in that family which have since been redirected to it), plus the [{{fullurl:Special:PrefixIndex|from=Geolinks&namespace=10}} Geolinks] and [{{fullurl:Special:PrefixIndex|from=Mapit&namespace=10}} Mapit] templates. Most parameters can be used as before – see [[#Usage|Usage]].
 
Examples:
<table class="wikitable">
<tr><td>&#123;{coord|10.2|N|-20.3|E|'''type:'''city}&#125;</td><td>Replaces &#123;{coor d|10.2|N|-20.3|E|city}&#125;</td></tr>
 
<tr><td>&#123;{coord|44.4|-111.1|'''type:city_region:US'''|display=inline,title}&#125;</td><td>Replaces &#123;{Geolinks-'''US-cityscale'''|44.4|-111.1}&#125;</td></tr>
 
<tr><td>&#123;{coord|51.01234|-1.56789|'''type:landmark_region:GB'''|display=inline,title}&#125;</td><td>Replaces &#123;{Geolinks-'''UK-buildingscale'''|51.01234|-1.56789}&#125;</td></tr>
 
<tr><td>&#123;{coord|-35.5|150.1|'''type:landmark_region:AU'''|display=inline,title}&#125;</td><td>Replaces &#123;{Mapit-'''AUS-suburbscale'''|lat=-35.5|long=150.1}&#125;</td></tr>


<tr><td>&#123;{coord|12|34|12|N|45|33|45|W|'''display=title'''}&#125;</td><td>Replaces &#123;{'''CoorHeader'''|12|34|12|N|45|33|45|W}&#125;</td></tr>
Pages with many inline coordinates may come close to or exceed Wikipedia's [[WP:PEIS|Post-expand include size]] limit. In these cases, consider using {{ml|Coordinates|coord}} instead:
 
* {{tlx|Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W|display{{=}}inline}} → {{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W|display=inline}} (1,544 bytes)
</table>
* {{mlx|Coordinates|coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W|display{{=}}inline}} → {{#invoke:Coordinates|coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|W|display=inline}} (772 bytes)

==Helper functions==
 
Helper functions are available to manipulate the output from {{tl|Coord}} when it appears in a container template such as an infobox.
 
===To extract the latitude from a Coord template===
{{See also|Geographic coordinate conversion}}
Use:
 
<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|lat}}</nowiki> </code> → {{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|lat}}
 
and similarly to extract the longitude, use:
 
<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|long}}</nowiki></code> → {{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|long}}
 
:'''Note: this method removes the microformat markup, and should not be used inside templates which emit parent microformats, such as infoboxes or table-row templates.'''


== Displaying all coordinate links on one map ==
=== Displaying all coordinate links on one map ===
The template {{tl|GeoGroup}} can be used in an article with coordinates. This template creates links to Google Maps and Bing which display all the coordinates on a single map, and links to other services which allow the coordinates to be used or downloaded in a variety of formats.
The templates {{tl|GeoGroup}} and {{tl|Maplink}} can be used in an article with coordinates. {{tl|GeoGroup}} creates links to a mapping service, which will display all the coordinates on a single map, and to other services which allow the coordinates to be used or downloaded as [[Keyhole Markup Language|KML]] or [[GPS Exchange Format|GPX]] format. {{tl|Maplink}} adds either a link or an embedded mapframe, which can display all named coordinates from a page or section ({{tlx|coord|nolink=on}} templates using the {{para|name}} parameter).

The <code>dim:</code> parameter defines the [[diameter]] of a viewing circle centered on the coordinate. While the default unit of measurement is metres, the <code>km</code> suffix may be appended to indicate kilometres.
 
[[tswiki:GeoHack|GeoHack]] uses <code>dim:</code> to select a [[Scale (map)|map scale]] such that the viewing circle appears roughly {{convert|10|cm|in|0}} in diameter on a 72 [[Dots per inch|dpi]] computer monitor.  If no <code>dim:</code>, <code>type:</code>, or <code>scale:</code> parameters are provided, GeoHack uses its default viewing circle of {{convert|30|km|mi}}.
