The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an [[HCard| hCard microformat]], which makes the place-name and location [[Parsing|parsable]] by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. Within the hCard is a [[WP:GEOUF|Geo microformat]], which additionally makes the [[Geographic coordinate system|coordinates]] (latitude & longitude) parsable, so that they can be, say, looked up on a map, or downloaded to a [[Global Positioning System|GPS]] unit. For more information about the use of [[microformat]]s on Wikipedia, please see [[WP:UF|the microformat project]].

hCard uses HTML classes including:
<div class="horizontal">
*"adr"
*"county-name"
*"fn"
*"label"
*"locality"
*"nickname"
*"note"
*"org"
*"region"
*"street-address"
*"vcard"
</div>

Geo is produced by calling {{tl|coord}}, and uses HTML classes:

<div class="horizontal">
*"geo"
*"latitude"
*"longitude"
</div>

'''Please do not rename or remove these classes.'''

When giving coordinates, please don't be [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Geographical coordinates#Precision|overly precise]].
