Sample Marker Formats

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.

40.0132563, -105.2593774 Boulder, Colorado

We try Map's SEARCH feature. About Map Keywords

40.0149856, -105.2705450 Boulder, Boulder County, Colorado, United States

The About page suggest 'nautical' format as an alternative.

45°36'43.3"N 122°43'52.8"W Smith Lake, Portland

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.
