At some point in the past few months, the meaning of the "?c" argument at https://www.govmap.gov.il/ changed. It used to be latitude and longitude, but now it is coordinates in the Israeli Transverse Mercator grid. For example, the 1940s map for Ni'ilya used to be at https://www.govmap.gov.il/?c=34.571667,31.646111&z=6&b=4
but now it is at https://www.govmap.gov.il/?c=159168,617029&z=6&b=4
. I don't know if that site has an option for location by latitude and longitude. Zerotalk 03:07, 4 October 2018 (UTC)
When instantiated as: https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=ARA_San_Juan_(S-42)¶ms=45_56_59_S_59_46_22_W_ Google Maps (satellite view) is missing the zoom controls!
Please fix, as this makes this map view unusable! (can't zoom out.)
Thanks!

The link to OS Maps (osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk) would be more useful if it dropped a pin on the point in question. This can be achieved by appending /pin to the URL. I am not able to make this change, as I don't have the status needed for the protected page.

The URLs on the Israel panel on the line "govmap" all have the latitude and longitude separated by %7c, which is "|" character. This is incorrect: the separator should be a comma.

Template:GeoTemplate → Wikipedia:GeoTemplate – This isn't transcluded on any pages, and doesn't appear to be intended for transclusion, so it shouldn't be in the template namespace.
The incoming links shows that many pages also link to "Wikipedia:Map sources", so that may be an even better target than "GeoTemplate"; I'm neutral on this matter. eπi (talk | contribs) 21:16, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

Please replace "www.blue-marble.de" with "blue-marble.de" in both occurrences – i.e. remove the "www." subdomain from both links to Blue Marble Navigator (which happens to be my own site), as the SSL certificate is only valid for the main domain. The content of the resulting page is the same, but people would not get browser warnings. Urs Enke (talk) 23:08, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
Many of the maps listed can grouped into what they are based on.
E.g., several are simply value-added versions of OpenSteetMap. Therefore perhaps they should all be grouped together.
GeoHack itself deserves to be in the list.
Not just for Antipodes.
But one would think "why would I need the link if I am already looking at it (in the URL bar)?"
Well, otherwise it takes a lot of experiments to figure out the basic GeoHack URL could be as simple as
https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?params=24.18169_N_120.86617_E
I.e., https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?params=LAT_N_LON_E (decimal degrees, no DMS mess too.) Jidanni (talk) 20:05, 11 September 2019 (UTC)
I suggest LROC Quickmap by Arizona State University as an addition to current external mapping providers. It is official, feature rich with many data layers and has very easy URL defined format to create links like following URL creates a point location to 33.33°N, 33.33°W but polygons and paths can also be defined to mark regions, rover tracks, abstract features etc.
https://quickmap.lroc.asu.edu/?extent=-180,-90,180,90&proj=16&features=33.33,-33.33
Quickmap has many map projections methods like Orthographic(far side, near side, south and north pole), Equidistant cylindrical and 3D globe which can be useful for certain locations, for example polar locations are better visible in orthographic projection compared to 3D globe and Equidistant cylindrical.

Following up on a request on my talk page: (Special:PermaLink/921775139#Please_adjust_page_protection). This is a rather special style of template, it is fully move protected as it is called from external sources thus the full-move protection; it has been the subject of vandalism which can also be very disruptive, thus the unusual ECP protection. I may have otherwise used TPROT edit protection - but it has routine good faith maintainers and this is an anti-vandalism control. — xaosflux Talk 20:27, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

I think this template should be using the new Google Maps icon as it has the same colour scheme as the Google "G" clearly showing it's a google product and since it's map pin it makes it easier to identify as a mapping service rather than just Google Search. Also it's the official logo for Google Maps. – BrandonXLF (talk) 01:53, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

I removed the Mapa option from the Israel section as it hasn't worked for some time and I can't see how to fix it. It is not present in the corresponding template on the Hebrew wiki. If you can see how to fix it, just revert this edit and apply the changes. Zerotalk 06:05, 13 July 2020 (UTC)
In the template, the ICGC link is currently formatted as:
| Catalonia | [http://www.icc.cat/vissir3/?lang={language}&mp_zoom=n:{zoom}&etrs89x={londegdec}&etrs89y={latdegdec} Map]
Where language becomes "en" for English, but it needs to be "eng" to work.
That is, the template produces the link http://www.icc.cat/vissir3/?lang=en&mp_zoom=n:5&etrs89x=2.256945&etrs89y=41.594903 that doesn't work, but http://www.icc.cat/vissir3/?lang=eng&mp_zoom=n:5&etrs89x=2.256945&etrs89y=41.594903 would work.--Pere prlpz (talk) 11:41, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

I don't see too badly; even so I have trouble finding the dark red dot superimposed on the light-brown Mars surface. It is *too hard to see* to be considered 'accessible'. I'd suggest that a *bright yellow* dot would show up much better.
Other desirable aids worth implementing:
•Vertical and horizontal dotted line crosshairs
•some actual latitude and longitude guides on the map edges
•a 50% increase in the image size would be super.Twang (talk) 05:40, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

I made an issue on the Bitbucket before realizing that it's apparently extremely out of date and not actually used for ongoing development (or maybe it's the backend, idk):
Currently GeoHack lists Apple Maps as “Apple Devices Only”. However, DuckDuckGo licenses Apple Maps for use in a web browser.
You can translate an Apple Maps URL like this one (I’ve used random coordinates):
https://maps.apple.com/?q=31.65092,91.17588
To this one:
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=31.65092,91.17588&iaxm=maps
And it should work on any device.
DuckDuckGo Maps should be a preferred (i.e. highlighted) service for GeoHack due to the fact that DuckDuckGo does not track its users, unlike Bing and Google, which are currently preferred services for GeoHack. (There are other, non-preferred services already on GeoHack that do not track users, either.)
I don’t know how you assign priority to issues, so obviously feel free to change the priority if you like. Also, the way you might go about integrating DuckDuckGo Maps vis-a-vis Apple Maps in the GeoHack list is an open question.
I see that the code for Apple Maps is as follows:
Apple Maps (Apple devices only)
| [//maps.apple.com/?q={latdegdec},{londegdec}&t=m Map]
|[//maps.apple.com/?q={latdegdec},{londegdec}&t=k Satellite]
It doesn't seem to be possible to deeplink directly to "Satellite" view on DuckDuckGo, but something like the following should work:
Apple Maps (web view)
| colspan="2" | [//duckduckgo.com/?q={latdegdec},{londegdec}&iaxm=maps Map/Satellite]
I'm not sure if that's how you'd want to indicate the click-through for "Satellite" view, or if you'd prefer naming it "DuckDuckGo" rather than "Apple Maps (web view)".
If you'd prefer marking it as "DuckDuckGo", I made an SVG version of the DuckDuckGo favicon out of the copy of the logo used on Wikipedia.
FWIW it would be easier to contribute to this if you were to include it on the Wikimedia GitHub rather than exclusively maintaining the code on Wikipedia itself.

At the moment, the tool sends British Ordnance Survey (OS) requests to https://osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ but, as they explain here, the OS are moving the service to https://explore.osmaps.com/ and they already encourage users to go there, with the implication that sooner or later the whole service will move. Would it be possible, please, to offer the new URL as either the default (preferable, I think) or as an alternative? I think this would be a help to people who have OS accounts and have moved or may be moving to the new setup. Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 08:56, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

Currently, our links to Apple Maps are only available to users of Apple's operating systems. DuckDuckGo provides a front-end to their same data in a way that preserves privacy and works on all modern browsers and operating systems. We should add a link to that source, either as its own entry or on the Apple Maps row in the "More" column.
A previous request was made to make such an edit, but it was quickly closed as premature, since there was no attempt to obtain consensus.

On slow connections, the map says "JavaScript disabled or out of map range." for several seconds before the image finally loads.
The problem is: it should say, "JavaScript disabled or out of map range... or just wait a few seconds."
Yes, there is no way to make the user's $1-a-month Internet faster, unless he spends more.
That's not the problem. The problem is the message assumes fast connections.
Or... just have a standard spinner.
The current lat/lon coordinates are quite wrong, you should use these ones instead: 50.98964646392152, 7.130402442274649
Right now they are pointing to a random place in the forest about 30km north of the correct location.

So since you give OSM a 15, you might as well use 1 instead of 2 for SkyVector.

We see
Popular ------- Bing Maps Google Maps Google Earth OpenStreetMap
These are great, but their zoom levels are all only "way zoomed out". And to zoom in to see the actual building, etc, in most map services the target slides off the edge as we hit the "+" button over and over, and we have to reposition: big hassle.
Therefore there really should be a second row of choices, like
Popular ------- Zoomed out: Bing Maps Google Maps Google Earth OpenStreetMap Zoomed in: Bing Maps Google Maps Google Earth OpenStreetMap
(Not repeated icons though. But still some kind of table.)
That way people who want to see where the object is in relation to national borders could click one of the former, and people who need to see what building the incident took place in could click the latter!
Neither is better, I'm just saying give the user easy choice.

On a mobile phone (Android 13 / Pixel 6 but I doubt it matters), clicking on the Google Maps icon results in the app opening but without any address selected. On desktop it works fine.
An example:
links to
which does not work on a mobile phone. On desktop, that URL will redirect to
which does work on mobile. A more minimal version which doesn't seem to have any functional difference is
So I think the correct format for the Google Maps links would be
https://www.google.com/maps/place/{{urlencode: {latdegabs}°{latminint}'{latsecdec}"{latNS} }}+{{urlencode: {londegabs}°{lonminint}'{lonsecdec}"{lonEW} }}/@{latdegdec},{londegdec},{osmzoom}z
or maybe
https://www.google.com/maps/place/{latdegdec},{londegdec}/@{latdegdec},{londegdec},{osmzoom}z
which results in a link like https://www.google.com/maps/place/1.292836,103.856878/@1.292836,103.856878,16z
which also seems to work (on desktop it redirects to the degree-based version so it's not the preferred format of Google Maps, but it's easier to read and maintain in the template code). --Tgr (talk) 04:13, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
Here's a very good source of map data: (please add to list of map services)
https://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=86265e5a4bbb4187a59719cf134e0018
URL's work like this:
https://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=86265e5a4bbb4187a59719cf134e0018&find={latitude},{longitude}

query parameter. What does it do? Why is the value so long, complex and inscrutable? Are other values valid, where can we find what they might be? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 16:48, 7 November 2023 (UTC)
Apple maps now seems to have a web based viewer that can be accessed with

Add a button to the map to make it full screen, yes, even if just clicking on the Openstreetmaps button is better. Jidanni (talk) 08:09, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

I've reverted an edit by Thinker78 - diff which split the Global/Trans-national services table into two, based on the editor's perception of which maps are proprietary and which are not. I did not find the change useful, and it seemed ideological in nature. As a user, I'm interested in selecting the Global/Trans-national map of my choice, and am not interested in the commercial status of the map provided. My preference is to see all maps in a specific domain listed in a single table. I note that no other tables in the template are spit based on commercial status. I have asked the user to gain consensus before remaking such a change; I do not expect that such consensus will materialise. --Tagishsimon (talk) 16:35, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
ideological in nature. It is really perplexing that you object to separating proprietary maps from those not proprietary. I don't know if you have noticed but Wikipedia is a project with the principle of freely shareable and modifiable content. It is one of the Five Pillars of the project and being non-commercial is a main principle.
All editors freely license their work to the public, and no editor owns an article – any contributions can and may be mercilessly edited and redistributed. Respect copyright laws and never plagiarize from any sources. Borrowing non-free media is sometimes allowed as fair use, but editors should strive to find free alternatives first.

The photograph of the entrance to the William Hobart Vacation Home is wrong. The address has been corrected from 905 Polecat Road to 995 Polecat Road on the National Register of Historic Places. Please remove the existing photograph as it is the entrance to the wrong property. Thank you. AHBravo (talk) 17:10, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
