{{Tl|Coord}} provides a standard notation for encoding locations by their {{Wpd|Latitude}} and {{Wpd|Longitude}} coordinates. It is primarily for specifying the {{Wpd|World Geodetic System|WGS84}} geographic coordinates of locations on {{Wpd|Earth}}. However, it can also encode locations on natural satellites, dwarf planets, and planets other than Earth. | |||

Tools which read Wikipedia database dumps (such as [[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://earth.google.com/userguide/v4/geoweb_faq.html 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. | Tools which read Wikipedia database dumps (such as [[Google Earth]]) often ignore inline coordinates.

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]]. | 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&amp;namespace=10}} Geolinks] and [{{fullurl:Special:PrefixIndex|from=Mapit&amp;namespace=10}} Mapit] templates.
