This template is for inserting geographical coordinates.
It can be used for coordinates in degrees, minutes, and seconds, or coordinates in just degrees and minutes, depending upon the number of parameters.
Usage
The template takes either six or eight parameters, depending upon the desired format for the coordinates.
The variables are therefore {{Coords|deg|min|sec|LAT|deg|min|sec|LON}}, where the two sec variables are optional.
To use the template you can copy and paste one of the examples below, depending on the desired format, and replace the numbers.
Example
- DMS format (degrees, minutes, and seconds)
{{Coords|12|34|56|N|12|34|56|W}}gives 12°34′56”N, 12°34′56”W.
- DM format (degrees and minutes)
{{Coords|12|34.56|N|12|34.56|W}}gives 12°34.56′N, 12°34.56′W.
