Template:CH1903-WGS84
L/B/H
Usage[edit]
This template is designed to convert a set of Swiss coordinates into either the corresponding WGS84 decimal latitude or longitude. It is intended to facilitate the usage of geodata (see {{coord}}) in articles about subjects for which only Swiss coordinates are readily available. The template should always be substituted.
Usage example: To establish the WGS84 coordinates of Bern from its Swiss coordinates of 600'000 / 200'000, use:
- Latitude: {{subst:CH1903-WGS84|600|200||koor=B|subst=subst:}}, which evaluates to 46.9510811111
- Longitude: {{subst:CH1903-WGS84|600|200||koor=L|subst=subst:}}, which evaluates to 7.43863722222
Accordingly, {{coord|{{subst:CH1903-WGS84|600|200||koor=B|subst=subst:}}|{{subst:CH1903-WGS84|600|200||koor=L|subst=subst:}}}} is equivalent to {{coord|46.9510811111|7.43863722222}}.
This template is primarily intended for the mass conversion of coordinate sets in lists. For individual sets of coordinates, the online conversion tool provided by Swisstopo may be preferred.
