Fyrimynd:OS coord/doc

This template creates a link to a list of map sources. It is the same as {{coord}} but uses a UK Ordnance Survey grid reference as the coordinates.

Warning

The external URL which this template calls has still not reached what may be considered a permanent home. To avoid problems when things change:

• definitely do not create any direct links to the external URL
• do not use this template directly in any article
• instead use one of the templates which use this one. Or create a new template.

Usage

Use:

{{OS coord|cc|tt}}

Where:

• cc is the grid reference in one of the formats listed below followed, optionally, by any additional parameters. For example: TQ123456_region:GB_scale:25000
• tt is the text to appear in the link.

Grid reference formats - letters are not case-sensitive:

	Great Britain
888_999	Two decimal numbers - eastings then northings in metres separated by an underscore (for consistency with {{coord}}) E.g.: 439668_1175316
SE	Standard grid references. In each of these cases, the actual coordinates passed to the map sources page will be the centre of the square that the grid ref defines. Spaces between elements are optional.
SE16
SE1267
SE 123 678
SE 1234 6789
SE1234567890	Full "ten figure" grid reference
	Ireland - proposed - not yet implemented
i888_999	Letter 'i' followed by two decimal numbers - eastings then northings in metres separated by an underscore
R	Standard grid references. In each of these cases, the actual coordinates passed to the map sources page will be the centre of the square that the grid ref defines
R16
R1267
R123678
R12346789
R1234567890	Full "ten figure" grid reference
