ទំព័រគំរូ:Infobox map/coordinate syntax

Coordinates can be entered as decimal digits or using degrees, minutes and seconds. There is also the option of using the {{Coord}} template but this is not recommended since it does not allow for map functionality. If no map is to be displayed then the Coord template will work fine.

Example dms

Example dm

Example d

| lat_d   = 33
| lat_m   = 39
| lat_s   = 3.6
| lat_NS  = S
| long_d  = 151
| long_m  = 12
| long_s  = 04
| long_EW = E

| lat_d   = 33
| lat_m   = 39
| lat_NS  = S
| long_d  = 151
| long_m  = 12
| long_EW = E
 
 

| lat_d   = 33
| lat_NS  = S
| long_d  = 151
| long_EW = E
 
 
 
 

Example unsigned dd

Example signed dd

| lat_d   = 33.65100
| lat_NS  = S
| long_d  = 51.20100
| long_EW = E

| lat_d   = -33.65100
| long_d  = 51.20100
 
 

The coord template can be used with the following syntax. More information can be found at Template:Coord.

{{coord|33|39|03.6|S|151|12|03.6|E|format=dms|region:AU_type:landmark|display=inline,title}}

For additional examples, see Coordinate examples.

The coordinates for Canadian places can be found using the Geographical Name Search Service (GNSS). Coordinates for United States places can be found using the Geographic Names Information System (GNIS). Another tool that will supply coordinates for many locations around the world is ACME Mapper which uses Google Maps. These sites and many others provide coordinates using decimal degreess which are used in the example above. Using decimal degrees simplifies data entry and accuracy. By default the coordinates are displayed in degree, minute, second format. This can be changed by setting format=dec.
