Israeli government map site stopped working (please copy this somewhere else if this isn't the right place)

At some point in the past few months, the meaning of the "?c" argument at https://www.govmap.gov.il/ changed. It used to be latitude and longitude, but now it is coordinates in the Israeli Transverse Mercator grid. For example, the 1940s map for Ni'ilya used to be at https://www.govmap.gov.il/?c=34.571667,31.646111&z=6&b=4 but now it is at https://www.govmap.gov.il/?c=159168,617029&z=6&b=4. I don't know if that site has an option for location by latitude and longitude. Zerotalk 03:07, 4 October 2018 (UTC)

GeoHack misfires with Google Maps (Satellite View)

When instantiated as: https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?pagename=ARA_San_Juan_(S-42)&params=45_56_59_S_59_46_22_W_ Google Maps (satellite view) is missing the zoom controls!

Please fix, as this makes this map view unusable! (can't zoom out.)

Thanks!

If there is a problem with user interaction at Google Maps, this is entirely outside our control. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:07, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
Kindly explain how your comment is constructive vis-à-vis actually taking a look to see what is going on. Don't forget Google is the option most folks use by far, so even if the bug is in Google's camp it still beehooves the maintainers of GeoHack to report the bug to Google to get it fixed. Wouldn't you agree? 181.12.63.46 (talk) 18:21, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

The link to OS Maps (osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk) would be more useful if it dropped a pin on the point in question. This can be achieved by appending /pin to the URL. I am not able to make this change, as I don't have the status needed for the protected page.

The point?

This template, along with a number of its sub-templates, is currently showing up in the report of unused templates. What is its purpose? I see a number of active edits, just trying to get a grasp on the point of the templates. Thanks! --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 20:10, 28 February 2019 (UTC)

@Zackmann08: Go to almost any page about a place or building and you may see a link titled "Coordinates" either in the infobox or at upper right of the page. For example, at Hamburg we find the link 53°33′55″N 10°00′05″E / 53.56528°N 10.00139°E / 53.56528; 10.00139. Click that. You are now viewing Template:GeoTemplate with the appropriate latitude and longitude filled in to make those links useful. So, far from being "unused", it's used on every page transcluding {{coord}} plus a good few others that use other templates like {{gbmapping}}. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:11, 1 March 2019 (UTC)
@Redrose64: in my defense... Both Special:WhatLinksHere/Template:GeoTemplate & [2] show it as having 0 transclusions. It appears that this template is being used but not internally I guess? Anyway, was just trying to do some WP:BEFORE. Thanks for the info! --Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:15, 1 March 2019 (UTC)

Group by base map

Many of the maps listed can grouped into what they are based on.

E.g., several are simply value-added versions of OpenSteetMap. Therefore perhaps they should all be grouped together.

GeoHack itself deserves to be in the list.

Not just for Antipodes.

But one would think "why would I need the link if I am already looking at it (in the URL bar)?"

Well, otherwise it takes a lot of experiments to figure out the basic GeoHack URL could be as simple as 

https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?params=24.18169_N_120.86617_E

I.e., https://tools.wmflabs.org/geohack/geohack.php?params=LAT_N_LON_E (decimal degrees, no DMS mess too.) Jidanni (talk) 20:05, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

OK, call it a "Basic GeoHack (with only LAT LON)" Jidanni (talk) 20:08, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

I suggest LROC Quickmap by Arizona State University as an addition to current external mapping providers. It is official, feature rich with many data layers and has very easy URL defined format to create links like following URL creates a point location to 33.33°N, 33.33°W but polygons and paths can also be defined to mark regions, rover tracks, abstract features etc.

https://quickmap.lroc.asu.edu/?extent=-180,-90,180,90&proj=16&features=33.33,-33.33

Quickmap has many map projections methods like Orthographic(far side, near side, south and north pole), Equidistant cylindrical and 3D globe which can be useful for certain locations, for example polar locations are better visible in orthographic projection compared to 3D globe and Equidistant cylindrical.  Ohsin  16:06, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

I added it, but didn't find any documentation for the parameters. Try the coordinates for the Apollo 17 landing site here and select the Lunar Globe (3D) projection to see odd movement of the marker when zoomed in and panning the globe. —EncMstr (talk) 23:07, 8 October 2019 (UTC)
Thanks and yes added points do appear to be floating in 3D views I have submitted a bug report. I'll update if they reply. No issues in 2D projection though.  Ohsin  06:38, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

Protection note

Following up on a request on my talk page: (Special:PermaLink/921775139#Please_adjust_page_protection). This is a rather special style of template, it is fully move protected as it is called from external sources thus the full-move protection; it has been the subject of vandalism which can also be very disruptive, thus the unusual ECP protection. I may have otherwise used TPROT edit protection - but it has routine good faith maintainers and this is an anti-vandalism control. — xaosflux Talk 20:27, 17 October 2019 (UTC)

Xaosflux If it's been under ECP due to disruptive editing, then simply reapply ECP to the page with the rationale "Persistent Vandalism" like so many others. There's no need for further justification/conflict/WP:IAR/"this is a special case"/etc. ECP was indeed created to prevent such disruptive editing. All that needs to be done is change your rationale. Buffs (talk) 15:49, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
This discussion should suffice, make-work log entries are not necessary. See also my note at my user talk if you want to escalate my actions further. — xaosflux Talk 15:55, 18 October 2019 (UTC)
Xaosflux make-work log entries are not necessary You've spent FAR more effort on responses than it would take to simply label your rationale correctly. Furthermore, you requested we continue the discussion here. Now it's back to your talk page to refer it further to WP:ANI. Why the wild goose chase? Why not simply update the rationale so there's no confusion in the logs? Buffs (talk) 16:12, 18 October 2019 (UTC)

Integrate Tianditu

Tianditu is an official mapping service provided by the Chinese government. Would be interesting if we can link against it. Though after digging 10 minutes, I haven't figure out myself how to link to a location with coordinates.--Voidvector (talk) 21:47, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

I think this template should be using the new Google Maps icon as it has the same colour scheme as the Google "G" clearly showing it's a google product and since it's map pin it makes it easier to identify as a mapping service rather than just Google Search. Also it's the official logo for Google Maps. – BrandonXLF (talk) 01:53, 13 February 2020 (UTC)

Dead Israel option

I removed the Mapa option from the Israel section as it hasn't worked for some time and I can't see how to fix it. It is not present in the corresponding template on the Hebrew wiki. If you can see how to fix it, just revert this edit and apply the changes. Zerotalk 06:05, 13 July 2020 (UTC)

Where language becomes "en" for English, but it needs to be "eng" to work.

That is, the template produces the link http://www.icc.cat/vissir3/?lang=en&mp_zoom=n:5&etrs89x=2.256945&etrs89y=41.594903 that doesn't work, but http://www.icc.cat/vissir3/?lang=eng&mp_zoom=n:5&etrs89x=2.256945&etrs89y=41.594903 would work.--Pere prlpz (talk) 11:41, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

Mars Map viewing improvements

I don't see too badly; even so I have trouble finding the dark red dot superimposed on the light-brown Mars surface. It is *too hard to see* to be considered 'accessible'. I'd suggest that a *bright yellow* dot would show up much better.

•some actual latitude and longitude guides on the map edges

DuckDuckGo Maps as a web frontend for Apple Maps

I made an issue on the Bitbucket before realizing that it's apparently extremely out of date and not actually used for ongoing development (or maybe it's the backend, idk):

Currently GeoHack lists Apple Maps as “Apple Devices Only”. However, DuckDuckGo licenses Apple Maps for use in a web browser.

You can translate an Apple Maps URL like this one (I’ve used random coordinates):

https://maps.apple.com/?q=31.65092,91.17588

To this one:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=31.65092,91.17588&iaxm=maps

And it should work on any device.

DuckDuckGo Maps should be a preferred (i.e. highlighted) service for GeoHack due to the fact that DuckDuckGo does not track its users, unlike Bing and Google, which are currently preferred services for GeoHack. (There are other, non-preferred services already on GeoHack that do not track users, either.)

I don’t know how you assign priority to issues, so obviously feel free to change the priority if you like. Also, the way you might go about integrating DuckDuckGo Maps vis-a-vis Apple Maps in the GeoHack list is an open question.

I see that the code for Apple Maps is as follows: 

Apple Maps (Apple devices only)
| [//maps.apple.com/?q={latdegdec},{londegdec}&t=m Map]
|[//maps.apple.com/?q={latdegdec},{londegdec}&t=k Satellite]

It doesn't seem to be possible to deeplink directly to "Satellite" view on DuckDuckGo, but something like the following should work: 

Apple Maps (web view)
| colspan="2" | [//duckduckgo.com/?q={latdegdec},{londegdec}&iaxm=maps Map/Satellite]

I'm not sure if that's how you'd want to indicate the click-through for "Satellite" view, or if you'd prefer naming it "DuckDuckGo" rather than "Apple Maps (web view)".

If you'd prefer marking it as "DuckDuckGo", I made an SVG version of the DuckDuckGo favicon out of the copy of the logo used on Wikipedia.

FWIW it would be easier to contribute to this if you were to include it on the Wikimedia GitHub rather than exclusively maintaining the code on Wikipedia itself.

Many unused subtemplates

This template has many unused subtemplates, including:

Before I nominate them for deletion as an abandoned, unused attempt at creating a set of GeoTemplates for planets and moons other than Earth, I wanted to post here to see if anyone knows of a reason why they should be kept. Will they be used? If so, where? Pinging Stepheng3 and Pigsonthewing, who appear to have made most of the substantive edits to these pages back in the 2009 to 2012 range. – Jonesey95 (talk) 23:48, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

It's a long time since I had any dealings with these, but as I recall, they are used; for example the Mars sub-template is used in [6]. Note also that {{GeoTemplate}} itself shows no transclusions (per [7]). Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 11:02, 25 January 2022 (UTC)
Those are very helpful links. Thank you. These subtemplates are transcluded, but by pages outside of the English Wikipedia. They are used by the {{coord}} links on pages for features of extraterrestrial bodies, like Arrakis Planitia and many other articles that can be found through {{Surface features of space objects}} and other means. I will mark these pages appropriately so that they do not appear on "unused template" reports. – Jonesey95 (talk) 15:06, 25 January 2022 (UTC)

Can we incorporate the new URL for the British Ordnance Survey service please?

At the moment, the tool sends British Ordnance Survey (OS) requests to https://osmaps.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/ but, as they explain here, the OS are moving the service to https://explore.osmaps.com/ and they already encourage users to go there, with the implication that sooner or later the whole service will move. Would it be possible, please, to offer the new URL as either the default (preferable, I think) or as an alternative? I think this would be a help to people who have OS accounts and have moved or may be moving to the new setup. Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 08:56, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

DuckDuckGo device-neutral front-end to Apple Maps

Currently, our links to Apple Maps are only available to users of Apple's operating systems. DuckDuckGo provides a front-end to their same data in a way that preserves privacy and works on all modern browsers and operating systems. We should add a link to that source, either as its own entry or on the Apple Maps row in the "More" column.

A previous request was made to make such an edit, but it was quickly closed as premature, since there was no attempt to obtain consensus. I would like to revive that discussion to obtain such consensus.

JavaScript disabled or out of map range.

On slow connections, the map says "JavaScript disabled or out of map range." for several seconds before the image finally loads.

The problem is: it should say, "JavaScript disabled or out of map range... or just wait a few seconds."

Yes, there is no way to make the user's $1-a-month Internet faster, unless he spends more.

Map jumps upon first zoom click

@Jidanni: You don't say which page you accessed this from, nor which map you wre viewing. But regardless of those, this template leads to dozens of mapping websites, and how they behave on zoom is outside our control.

Go to [11].
Keep your eyes on the "Wikimedia maps" map.
If you have a slow connection you'll see "Javascript out of range... " etc. for one second as the map fills in. That is bug #1.
Now click the "+" button on the map.
Yes I would show you a screenshot, but that is hard here. Easy if you used GitHub bug tracker instead.
The map zooms, but now our mouse needs to be repositioned if we wish to click "+" again, if perhaps, we haven't zoomed enough for our tastes.
This is the first map in the world I have ever encountered that requires the user to chase the "+" button around the screen, albeit for just the second click.
Yes, after the second "+" click the "+" has had enough thrills, and settles down not scampering away again. Google Chrome 113.0.5638.0 Linux Desktop. Jidanni (talk) 00:22, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Need two sets of Popular: zoomed in and out

We see 

Popular
-------
Bing Maps Google Maps Google Earth OpenStreetMap

These are great, but their zoom levels are all only "way zoomed out". And to zoom in to see the actual building, etc, in most map services the target slides off the edge as we hit the "+" button over and over, and we have to reposition: big hassle.

Therefore there really should be a second row of choices, like 

Popular
-------
Zoomed out: Bing Maps Google Maps Google Earth OpenStreetMap
Zoomed in: Bing Maps Google Maps Google Earth OpenStreetMap

(Not repeated icons though. But still some kind of table.)

That way people who want to see where the object is in relation to national borders could click one of the former, and people who need to see what building the incident took place in could click the latter!

Neither is better, I'm just saying give the user easy choice.

Just like one needs bi-focal prescription glasses! Jidanni (talk) 11:58, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

They all pass a zoom level, and that is based on the type of coordinates and other meta information (type, scale, dim) provided via the coord template. If you don't specify any of the extra options that are detailed in the coord template, you likely will indeed get the pure coordinates at a very high zoom level, but that is to be expected. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 12:39, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

On a mobile phone (Android 13 / Pixel 6 but I doubt it matters), clicking on the Google Maps icon results in the app opening but without any address selected. On desktop it works fine.

An example:

https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Suntec_Singapore_Convention_and_Exhibition_Centre&params=1.292836_N_103.856878_E_type:landmark_dim:500

links to

https://www.google.com/maps?ll=1.292836,103.856878&q=1.292836,103.856878&hl=en&t=m&z=16

which does not work on a mobile phone. On desktop, that URL will redirect to

https://www.google.com/maps/place/1%C2%B017'34.2%22N+103%C2%B051'24.8%22E/@1.292836,103.856878,16z/data=!4m4!3m3!8m2!3d1.2928333!4d103.8568889?entry=ttu

which does work on mobile. A more minimal version which doesn't seem to have any functional difference is

https://www.google.com/maps/place/1%C2%B017'34.2%22N+103%C2%B051'24.8%22E/@1.292836,103.856878,16z

So I think the correct format for the Google Maps links would be

https://www.google.com/maps/place/{{urlencode: {latdegabs}°{latminint}'{latsecdec}"{latNS} }}+{{urlencode: {londegabs}°{lonminint}'{lonsecdec}"{lonEW} }}/@{latdegdec},{londegdec},{osmzoom}z

or maybe

https://www.google.com/maps/place/{latdegdec},{londegdec}/@{latdegdec},{londegdec},{osmzoom}z

which results in a link like https://www.google.com/maps/place/1.292836,103.856878/@1.292836,103.856878,16z which also seems to work (on desktop it redirects to the degree-based version so it's not the preferred format of Google Maps, but it's easier to read and maintain in the template code). --Tgr (talk) 04:13, 15 August 2023 (UTC)

It works fine for me on iOS 16. Maybe it's an Android thing. – Jonesey95 (talk) 13:53, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
It would probably work in a browser. The Google Maps app hijacks the link, but can't actually handle it. Tgr (talk) 15:05, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
I'm using Safari on iOS 16 to open the Wikipedia page. When I click on the coordinates, I am taken to the geo page in Safari. When I then click on the Google Maps link, the Google Maps app opens with the correct location highlighted. – Jonesey95 (talk) 04:55, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Interestingly enough, I can't replicate your results. For me on my Google Maps iOS, all these links don't report an address (well, there's a plus code, which Google technically calls an address). I'm wondering if perhaps this is solely because the pin is in an area with so many differing addresses that it is simply not confident enough to guess. As this is a business area, a lot of the street numbers here are likely connected to places that are quite a bit away from the street and many business likely share the same streetnumber but with different coordinates. If I take a coordinate well outside the city, it will say things like "Near 8, street name, province, city". Generally, Google for this situation/use case would say: You should share a link to the place, not a coordinate. But we don't know about Google places (basically part of google knowledge graph). —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 12:15, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Or are you saying it is not even giving you a POI highlight ??? —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 12:25, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
Yeah, no dropped pin, and the app isn't zoomed in. It just opens with whatever it was showing the last time I used it. But I asked some other people and they also couldn't reproduce it (on Android) so not sure what to think. Tgr (talk) 23:52, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

Splitting Global/Trans-national services

I've reverted an edit by Thinker78 - diff which split the Global/Trans-national services table into two, based on the editor's perception of which maps are proprietary and which are not. I did not find the change useful, and it seemed ideological in nature. As a user, I'm interested in selecting the Global/Trans-national map of my choice, and am not interested in the commercial status of the map provided. My preference is to see all maps in a specific domain listed in a single table. I note that no other tables in the template are spit based on commercial status. I have asked the user to gain consensus before remaking such a change; I do not expect that such consensus will materialise. --Tagishsimon (talk) 16:35, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

@Tagishsimon ideological in nature. It is really perplexing that you object to separating proprietary maps from those not proprietary. I don't know if you have noticed but Wikipedia is a project with the principle of freely shareable and modifiable content. It is one of the Five Pillars of the project and being non-commercial is a main principle.

All editors freely license their work to the public, and no editor owns an article – any contributions can and may be mercilessly edited and redistributed. Respect copyright laws and never plagiarize from any sources. Borrowing non-free media is sometimes allowed as fair use, but editors should strive to find free alternatives first.

And mainly,

Wikimedia is a global movement whose mission is to bring free educational content to the world. Wikimedia strives to bring about a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

Proprietary maps many times have legal conditions of use that restrict their sharing, use and modification. Therefore, I believe it is important to make a differentiation between proprietary services and non-proprietary services with proper commons licenses. This is the reason why I split the table to make such differentiation. I have to add that I sometimes also make maps that I upload to Commons and I use in Wikipedia's articles. Using non-proprietary maps is a must in order to do that. Sincerely, Thinker78 (talk) 23:03, 17 March 2024 (UTC) Edited 23:57, 17 March 2024 (UTC)|
Please do not repeat the change without consensus. See WP:BRD I am aware of wikipedia's principles. Equally, I have explained why I think it was a poor decision which ill serves users. Thank you for your confirmation that the change is ideological in nature. --Tagishsimon (talk) 08:38, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
Kindly read the relevant policies I shared with you. Wikipedia is a non-commercial, non-proprietary project based on the principles of using material freely shareable. The change I had made was to help editors find free alternatives first. Again, as I stated I sometimes make and upload maps to Commons and it is a requirement that said maps use material with a commons or similar license, not proprietary copyrighted material, which is what some of the services in the table are. Therefore, it is better to have the table of map services split according as to whether they are proprietary or not, or whether they are copyrighted or have a commons licenses or similar.

The photograph of the entrance to the William Hobart Vacation Home is wrong. The address has been corrected from 905 Polecat Road to 995 Polecat Road on the National Register of Historic Places. Please remove the existing photograph as it is the entrance to the wrong property. Thank you. AHBravo (talk) 17:10, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Can you provide an exact citation for a reliable source, so that the information can be verified? I have found the address given as 905 on a copy of the National Register of Historic Places, but it may not be up to date. JBW (talk) 19:19, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
This has nothing to do with GeoTemplate. But I found address and location here: https://catalog.archives.gov/id/71985903 . There seems to be no house anymore? --тнояsтеn ⇔ 19:24, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Thank you for finding the link to the Ohio Historic Inventory that shows the correct address of 995 Polecat Road. The house is still here. The family used the house as a "vacation" house until we moved into it in 2010. AHBravo (talk) 22:49, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Then the site plan in the linked PDF (no. 8) is wrong/inaccurate. --тнояsтеn ⇔ 14:20, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
