==Helper functions==

Helper functions are available to manipulate the output from {{tl|Coord}} when it appears in a container template such as an infobox.

===To extract the latitude from a Coord template===
{{See also|Geographic coordinate conversion}}
Use:

<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|lat}}</nowiki> </code> → {{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|lat}}

and similarly to extract the longitude, use:

<code><nowiki>{{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|long}}</nowiki></code> → {{#invoke:coordinates|coord2text|{{Coord|57|18|22|N|4|27|32|E}}|long}}

:'''Note: this method removes the microformat markup, and should not be used inside templates which emit parent microformats, such as infoboxes or table-row templates.'''

=== Displaying all coordinate links on one map ===
The templates {{tl|GeoGroup}} and {{tl|Maplink}} can be used in an article with coordinates. {{tl|GeoGroup}} creates links to a mapping service, which will display all the coordinates on a single map, and to other services which allow the coordinates to be used or downloaded as [[Keyhole Markup Language|KML]] or [[GPS Exchange Format|GPX]] format. {{tl|Maplink}} adds either a link or an embedded mapframe, which can display all named coordinates from a page or section ({{tlx|coord|nolink=on}} templates using the {{para|name}} parameter).
