Editing Encyclopedia:Obtaining geographic coordinates (section)

====OpenStreetMap====
[[OpenStreetMap]] can be used. For convenience, close any open sidebar (to allow a simpler URL format like the one below). Simply navigate to the desired point by right-clicking on it, then select the "'''Centre map here'''" option from the dialog. Finally, extract the coordinate values from the browser URL (N.B. not the shortlink).

For example, <code><nowiki>https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=17/10.79375/122.00671</nowiki></code> includes a latitude of <code>10.79375</code> and a longitude of <code>122.00671</code>.

A quicker alternative to extract coordinates is to right click on a desired point in the map and select "'''Show address'''". From the sidebar search results, copy the coordinates (in <code>latitude, longitude</code> format).
