==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. 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 '''GeoHack''' on tswiki. GeoHack displays information customized to the location, including links to external mapping services. For terrestrial locations, a blue globe appears to the left of the hyperlink. Clicking on the globe activates the 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. 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). * Decimal degrees (varying the number of decimal places based on input precision) * A machine readable Geo microformat. Logged-in users can customize how coordinates appear in their browsers. <!-- Not currently functional without errors: 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]].
