Usage
[edit]{{Ordnance Survey coordinates|cc|tt}}
or
{{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 | |
| 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 | |
