Error in (degrees/minutes) mapping[change source]
For some reason, there is an error when using degrees/minutes. The Infobox Settlement template is correct.
Location map | Infobox Settlement | ||
---|---|---|---|
| |||
{{Location map|Ohio|label=Dayton |lat_deg=39|lat_min=45|lat_sed=32| lon_deg=-84|lon_min=11|lon_sec=30| }} |
{{Infobox Settlement | official_name = City of Dayton| pushpin_map = Ohio | latd = 39| latm = 45| lats = 32| latNS = N | longd = 84| longm = 11| longs = 30| longEW = W }} |

- Found what is causing the error. Still have not found where the error is coming from.
Location map - as advertised | Infobox Settlement | Location map - using decimal degrees | ||

{{Location map|Missouri|label=Kansas City, Missouri |lat_deg=39|lat_min=06|lat_sed=00| lon_deg=-94|lon_min=34|lon_sec=48| }} |
{{Infobox Settlement | official_name = Kansas City| pushpin_map = Missouri | latd = 39| latm = 06| lats = 00| latNS = N | longd = 94| longm = 34| longs = 48| longEW = W }} |
{{Location map|Missouri|label=Kansas City, Mo |lat_deg=39|lat_min=06|lat_sed=00| lon_deg=-94.58| }} |
It appears that Location map is using the parameter lon_deg as decimal format, not degree format. There is a parameter long for decimal format.
Note: All of the above examples were produced with the Location map template version Template:Location_map&oldid=1696823

- Please see the response that I left at en:Template talk:Location map#Lat and lon dms parameters require decimal values; it's not a problem with the template itself, but in the way that it's being used. You have two issues here:
|lat_sed=32
should be|lat_sec=32
- it is not necessary to use a negative value: instead of
|lon_deg=-84
, use|lon_deg=84
|lon_dir=W
