==== Wikipedia compatible geotagging metadata generators ====
List of services, directly providing Wikipedia/[[Wikimedia Commons]] compatible [[geotagging]] metadata.

Currently preferred geotagging templates are:
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[Template:Coord|coord]]<nowiki>...}}</nowiki></code> for English Wikipedia and
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:commons:Template:Location|location]]<nowiki>...}}</nowiki></code> or
<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>[[:commons:Template:Location dec|location dec]]<nowiki>..}}</nowiki></code>
for Wikimedia Commons.
