you can see links to maps, labelled satellite (or aerial) photographs and other services, such as a terrain map and a "bird's eye" view, provided by different companies. There are many more to choose from. All you have to do is choose the service provider and type of view you want, and follow the relevant link. Good luck!

Help

This page links to a vast number of on-line maps and similar services for the point referenced on the article which links here. If this is your first visit, the choice may seem daunting, but do try it out - you can't break it!

For example, in the section, above, which starts:

Service Map Satellite Other
Google Maps Map Labeled satellite Terrain
Yahoo! Maps Map Labeled satellite
Live Search maps Map Labeled aerial Bird's Eye

you can see links to maps, labelled satellite (or aerial) photographs and other services, such as a terrain map and a "bird's eye" view, provided by different companies. There are many more to choose from. All you have to do is choose the service provider and type of view you want, and follow the relevant link. Good luck!


Co-ordinates using a template (this works)

Use the template call as follows: {{coor dms|DD|MM|SS|N/S|DD|MM|SS|E/W|}} (enter this on the Wiki page and fill in the details. This will also give a link to various online geo resources.

Example: {{coor dms|37|42|07|N|26|03|30|E|}} will show 37°42′07″N, 26°03′30″E after saving the edit (with link to geo resources).

.

Co-ordinates: <geo>48 46 36 N 121 48 51 W</geo> - (Still working on this)

Geocoding

Putting this in the Wiki: Geo: {{#geocode:Durban, South Africa}}

Results in displaying this:- Geo:

Geo format:

  • d° m.m′ {N|S}, d° m.m′ {E|W} - e.g. 12° 34.56′ N, 98° 76.54′ E
  • d° m' s" {N|S}, d° m' s" {E|W} - e.g. 12° 34' 56" N, 98° 76' 54" E

Geo Microformat

<div>Belvide: 52.686; -2.193</div>

Becomes a "microformat" -
Belvide: 52.686; -2.193

BlurBits

{| class="wikitable" align=right |<anyweb mywidth="400" myheight="400">http://my.server.com/</anyweb> |} With the BlurbBit URL produces the BLurbBit

Example - BlurbBits map as shown on the right.
