Coordinate-referenced map templates

The process of supplying freely licensed maps for direct use in Wikipedia articles is important to make the articles complete, especially for offline versions. A complementary effort, however, is adding latitude and longitude coordinates to articles about geographically fixed entities. This enables readers to click through to find maps of the surrounding area on external web sites like Google Maps. It also allows article titles, links, etc. to be automatically plotted on maps.

To learn how to add geographic coordinates to a page using templates, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates.
