The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an Geo microformat, which makes the location's coordinates (latitude and longitude) parsable, so that they can be looked up on a map or downloaded to a GPS unit.

Geo is usually produced by calling {{coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

  • geo
  • latitude
  • longitude

Please do not rename or remove these classes.

When giving coordinates, please don't be overly precise.
