'''Geographic coordinate''' is a built-in type for attributes that denote geographic locations. You enter latitude and longitude coordinates in decimal degrees, or in degrees, minutes and seconds. You can use apostrophe and double-quote or the prime and double prime symbols for minutes and seconds. You cannot use negative values.
For example
32°42′54″ N, 117°9′45″ W
32.715° N, 117.163° W
Attributes using Geographic coordinate can use [[Help:Service_links|service links]] to generate links to map services for coordinates; see for example [[Attribute:Coordinates]].
