Geo (microformat)

• If latitude is present, so must be longitude, and vice versa. • The same number of decimal places should be used in each value, including trailing zeroes. The Geo microformat is applied using three HTML classes. For example, the marked-up text: Belvide: 52.686; -2.193 becomes: Belvide: 52.686; -2.193 by adding the class-attribute values "geo", "latitude" and "longitude". This will display Belvide: 52.686; -2.193 and a geo microformat for that location, Belvide Reservoir, which will be detected, on this page, by microformat parsing tools. ==hCard==

Each Geo microformat may be wrapped in an hCard microformat, allowing for the inclusion of personal, organisational or venue names, postal addresses, telephone contacts, URLs, pictures, etc. ==Extensions==

There are three proposals, none mutually-exclusive, to extend the geo microformat: • geo-extension - for representing coordinates on other planets, moons etc., and with non-WGS84 schema • geo-elevation - for representing altitude • geo-waypoint - for representing routes and boundaries, using waypoints ==Users==

Organisations and websites using Geo include: • Flickr - on over three million photo pages • Geograph - on over one million photo pages • Google • Multimap - all map pages • OpenStreetMap - wiki pages about places, GPS traces and diary entries • Wikipedia - embedded in geo templates of map-link pages • German Wikipedia - ditto • Dutch Wikipedia - ditto • Swedish Wikipedia - ditto • Italian Wikipedia • Wikivoyage Multiple organisations publishing hCard include a geo as part of that. == h-geo ==

An alternative to Geo, h-geo, has been proposed. This is applied using three HTML classes. For example: Belvide: 52.686; -2.193; 120 by adding the class-attribute values "h-geo", "p-latitude", "p-longitude", and "p-altitude". ==See also==
