This template has some strange interaction with image counter (Contents: Top · 0-9 · A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) ) in category (IE/Firefox), no problem in Chrome...

Is there any way this could work with the Google Maps app on Android? Thanks, Urbourbo (talk) 10:06, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Or the Wikipedia app or Commons app or any other way that's not terribly difficult on the phone? Jim.henderson (talk) 02:39, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Different icons at OSM view?

Recently I extended the template documentation to illustrate the meanings of the 3 different icons shown at Google Maps and Bing Maps. OSM only uses pins for the 3 different location types. Is it possible to let the OSM view show these different symbols too? --Hasenläufer (talk) 14:14, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

level does not work correct

Why is "|level=" not working correctly? See e.g. Category:Aerial photographs of Landkreis Bautzen (top right). I miss the coordinates from the subcategories. Some weeks ago it was working. In Category:Aerial_photographs_of_Görlitz e. g., only the first 4 coordinates are listed, not the coordinates of File:18-09-29-Görlitz-RalfR-DJI 0414.jpg e.g. --PaulT (talk) 18:25, 1 May 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, but I reduced the number of levels to 1. To be honest: I did not expect that somebody really uses it. The reason is that my tool was deaktivated be the admins because it uses too many ressources.

But this has nothing to do with the fact, that only 4 coordinates are shown. This is really strange. Perhaps a bug in "kmlexport" which is used by my program? --Plenz (talk) 19:03, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

It seems that even at level=1, no subcategories are displayed, e.g. Category:Calenberger Neustadt (Hannover). I think I already added about 200 GeoGroup calls to categories. Is there a chance to limit not the number of levels but the number of entries (e.g. max. 50 pins)? -- Gerd Fahrenhorst (talk) 19:36, 20 May 2019 (UTC)

• @Plenz: We need the option to go down to at least 3 levels when maintaining categories. That way we can find wrongly-categorised images. Please reinstate and bid for more resources. If we don't have the tools, we can;t do the job, and this is one of the most valuable for maintaining categories. And sorry, I don't like nasty surprises like this, imposed with neither information nor consultation. Rodhullandemu (talk) 12:48, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
  • @Plenz: Is this being worked on, or should we open a Phabricator task? It's been nearly a week with no response. That doesn't help. Rodhullandemu (talk) 20:02, 19 June 2019 (UTC)

See below at #"Template:Geogroup" does no opens the file pages. verdy_p (talk) 12:09, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Schade. Zum Beispiel werden die Ortskategorien immer kleinteiliger, so das man keinen Überblick über die Positionen der Bilder mehr hat. Gruss --Nightflyer (talk) 18:40, 12 July 2019 (UTC)

You can use WikiMap for now: https://tools.wmflabs.org/wikimap/?cat=Aerial%20photographs%20of%20Landkreis%20Bautzen&subcats=true --DB111 (talk) 19:11, 1 August 2019 (UTC)

"Template:Geogroup" does no opens the file pages

@Verdy p: : Thank you. Now the option - "Map of all coordinates on Bing" - is linking to the files, what a great help, thank you again--JotaCartas (talk) 06:35, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Several service URLS have stopped working and the way they were URL-encoded (when there's an URL in the URL, each one requiring its own encoding) was incorrect. I fixed it.

I updated the doc for the template to mark the features that are now disabled due to PAGE NOT FOUND (Google Map, UKOS, and export as GeoRSS). And I fixed the KML export in the remaining 3 options, and added Bing Map again with it (which works better than the OSM map, whose rendering is incorrect when the KML containing non-ASCII UTF-8 labels, e.g. in Russia).

I passed some time to make the code of the template readable (and I merged the parts with the optional levels=n parameter).

Finally I made the box more easily translatable (I added Arabic, German, Spanish, French, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and completed Greek; you may want to add your languages in Template:Geogroup within the LangSwitch'es).

Note that Japanese may look quirky (because the complements are normally at start of sentence; they are for now added at end, between parentheses because there are no space separators between words in sentences, and using commas would be less appropriate I think). If you feel I must change it, the code will be a bit more complex.

I did not develop these URL services, and the OSM map should be fixed (you may suggest another replacement service URL). verdy_p (talk) 10:45, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi verdy_p, Thank you for your fixes! - It seems that there is another unsolved problem: the level= parameter currently always acts like level=0. I assume this is due to a problem with the osm4wiki tool where user:Plenz made a change due to performance problems. I think we should describe it at the doc subpage. -- Gerd Fahrenhorst (talk) 19:05, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Geodata from files instead of from file pages

I recently added {{Geogroup}} to these two cats, expecting to get a detailed view of this really small scale items, instead I got the expected cloud of pinpoints all bunched up and a few straggling outliers, obvious cases of wrong geolocation (point to one’s home or hotel room, or to a generic nearby location on a coarse grid). That’s also good, I though, as that will alow us to find and correct mistagged photos. However it turns out that in most cases the filepages of these photos had already been fixed: The problem seems to be that the tool is harvesting geolocation data for each photo not from its filepage but from the file itself. This is several kinds of bad, and should be fixed ASAP. -- Tuválkin ✉ ✇ 13:06, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

My experience is that the mislocations are merely obsolete; they were corrected in the template years ago, but the mapping still used the old location. Jim.henderson (talk) 00:13, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

User:DB111, can you help? --тнояsтеn ⇔ 20:54, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the question and the ping, the Geodata are alright, it was a visual problem of too aggressive clustering. Now the markers are still apart on highest zoom, take a try! --DB111 (talk) 22:51, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Map of all coordinates on OSM (1 level) Export all coordinates as KML

Hello, for such a small table with only two cells, do we need all the classes and style definitions? I'm not a mediawiki specialist, but is there not a danger if using too much classes that they can work against each other? For example, if there is class "infobox" is it necessary to use "sisterproject"? Or is "collapsible collapsed" necessary? And do we need style "box-sizing:border-box"? So... is it possible to simplify from:

• class="mw-content-{{Dir|{{Int:Lang}}}} infobox sisterproject noprint collapsible collapsed" style="font-size:88%; line-height:normal; clear:{{Dir|{{Int:Lang}}|left|right}}; float:{{Dir|{{Int:Lang}}|left|right}}; margin:2px; margin-{{Dir|{{Int:Lang}}|left|right}}:0; box-sizing:border-box; width:258px"

to:

• class="mw-content-ltr infobox" style="font-size:88%; line-height:normal; clear:right; float:right; margin:2px; margin-right:0; width:258px"

A rendered result of this proposal see right (in combination with wikidata infobox). Regards --W like wiki ^{good to know} 17:45, 7 February 2023 (UTC)

Good evening, I wish to propose a brand new icon for this template. I would like to replace it with this icon being more modern and slightly more accessible : manȷıro^💬 22:08, 26 December 2023 (UTC)
