HKVFS Wiki:WikiProject Geographical coordinates/region:
The region: parameter specifies the political region for terrestrial coordinates. It is used to select appropriate map resources. If no region: parameter is provided, GeoHack attempts to determine the region from the coordinates.
The region should be supplied as either a two character ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code or an ISO 3166-2 region code.
Examples of ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes:
- AQ Antarctica
- AU Australia
- BR Brazil
- DE Germany
- GB United Kingdom
- HK Hong Kong
- IN India
- LK Sri Lanka
- RU Russia
- US United States
Examples of ISO 3166-2 region codes:
- DE-TH Thuringia, Germany
- GB-BIR Birmingham, England
- NO-03 Oslo, Norway
- US-NY New York state, US
The oceans have the following Wiki assigned code elements per de:Vorlage:Coordinate#Ozeane.
- XN Arctic Ocean
- XA Atlantic Ocean
- XI Indian Ocean
- XP Pacific Ocean
- XS Southern Ocean
In addition, two Wiki assigned code elements can be used with {{coord}}:
- XZ for objects in or above international waters (similar to UN/LOCODE).
- ZZ for use in examples.
