Finding Coordinates
Do you not know how to find coordinates for an object? This should help:
- Understand that for coordinates in North America, longitude should generally be between -130 and -60 and latitude should generally be between 50 and 20
- Use a search engine to find the coordinates. For example, "Boca Raton Community High School coordinates".
- Get the coordinates from a search result.
- Make sure longitude (the bigger number) is negative and latitude (the smaller number) is positive
- Discard anything regarding "N", "E", "S", "W" and make sure your coordinates are simply a decimal number (no ', ", or ° characters)
Examples
Code | Result |
---|---|
{{Location map many | Georgia | label = Columbus State University | coordinates = {{coord|32.502652|-84.942619}} | label2 = Forsyth Central High School | coordinates2 = {{coord|34.21649|-84.14168}} }} |
