Template:Polecoord/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Displays a geographic coordinate for a location in a polar region. Like {{coord}}, it produces an appropriate link, but is simpler to use, compensates for some limitations of GeoHack in these regions, and allows future adoption of alternative services specific to these regions.
