PAGE TEMPLATES

Click on the template page, then click on the page "edit" (top of page) and copy the Wiki-code from the editor to paste in a newly created page. Please DO NOT edit/change the templates on the "template" page. You can add/delete/edit items in the new page that you create.

• Country Template - Countries (or Island countries)
• Island Template
• Port/Stop Template
• Marina/Yacht Club Template
• Passage Template

CO-ORDINATES TEMPLATE

Enter co-ordinates in a page using the "template-call" as shown below:

GPS: {{Coord|DD|M.M|N/S|DD|M.M|E/W|}}

Copy the above template and paste it into the Wiki page editor, fill in the details and SAVE the edit (don't forget to select either N or S, or E or W). This template will automatically give a link to a GeoHack page with various online geo resources related to the position - resources like Google Earth, MapTech (marine chart), GoogleMaps and access to photos of the position's area on Flickr, Panoramio, etc.

Example: GPS: {{Coord|37|43.6|N|26|50.6|W|}} will show as: GPS: 37°43.6′N, 26°50.6′W after saving the edit (with link to the "geo" resources page).

Co-ordinates Conversion Help - (D & M & S) - Divide the seconds by 60 to get the decimal value of minutes for the GPS format of |DD|M.M|
