Wiki is itself inconsistent in how it expects to find geocoordinates expressed in text. Here we provide examples of formats we recognize and a number we have seen that don't work for us yet.
See Import Geodata that got this started.
# Plugins
Shift-double-click on a map will place a marker.
Boulder, Colorado SEARCH 40.0149856, -105.2705450 Boulder, Boulder County, Colorado, United States
Boulder, Colorado 40.0132563, -105.2593774
We can edit this such that the name appears on the marker.

We try Map's SEARCH feature. About Map Keywords

The recently improved Image plugin will capture geodata from the EXIF fields of images.
Street Plaques, Denver, Colorado
Double-click the image for lat/lon edit fields. This ends up stored in the page json for the item.
"location": { "latitude": "39.759280555555556", "longitude": "-104.97432777777777" }
# Scripts
I often represent geocoordinates as decimal lat/lon arrays for easy computation. See Great Circle Distance
let here = [45.470493,-122.7486358] let there = [44.5223676,-122.6336633]
Jeff's weather station sample data was partially parsed and expressed as javascript objects using a mixture of degrees, minutes and meters for elevation. script
{ code: "KCRV", name: "CORONA PASS, CO, United States (KCRV)", location: "40-03N 105-35W 3538M" }
Robert Sterbal offered sample data geolocated by ChatGPT. He had two locations in Colorado. matrix
San Juan National Forest, Colorado 37.4683° N 107.4710° W Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Colorado 39.8159° N 104.7966° W
# Challenge
We invite script authors to fork this page and write a script that would use About Frame Integrations to read and convert as many of these formats as possible then emit marker-source via About Frame Source to be viewed on additional Map plugins.
Tip: see Colorado Geodata in Context for some of these markers on a map. Sometimes zooming makes markers more clickable.
