This is a documentation subpage for Template:OS coord. It contains usage information, categories, interlanguage links and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template creates a link to a list of map sources. It is the same as {{coord}} but uses a UK Ordnance Survey grid reference as the coordinates.
Warning
The external URL which this template calls has still not reached what may be considered a permanent home. To avoid problems when things change:
- definitely do not create any direct links to the external URL
- do not use this template directly in any article
- instead use one of the templates which use this one. Or create a new template.
Usage
Use:
- {{OS coord|cc|tt}}
Where:
- cc is the grid reference in one of the formats listed below followed, optionally, by any additional parameters. For example: TQ123456_region:GB_scale:25000
- tt is the text to appear in the link.
Grid reference formats - letters are not case-sensitive:
| Great Britain | |
| 888_999 | Two decimal numbers - eastings then northings in metres separated by an underscore (for consistency with {{coord}})Eg.: 439668_1175316 |
| SE | Standard grid references. In each of these cases, the actual coordinates passed to the map sources page will be the centre of the square that the grid ref defines. Spaces between elements are optional. |
| SE16 | |
| SE1267 | |
| SE 123 678 | |
| SE 1234 6789 | |
| SE1234567890 | Full "ten figure" grid reference |
| Ireland - proposed - not yet implemented | |
| i888_999 | Letter 'i' followed by two decimal numbers - eastings then northings in metres separated by an underscore |
| R | Standard grid references. In each of these cases, the actual coordinates passed to the map sources page will be the centre of the square that the grid ref defines |
| R16 | |
| R1267 | |
| R123678 | |
| R12346789 | |
| R1234567890 | Full "ten figure" grid reference |
