&gt; GeoHack is designed to do simple HTML replacements of a template on Wikipedia and serve it to the client. It is used by Wikipedia to provide links to various mapping services, when a user clicks on a link with geographical coordinates.<p>If you stick a set of coordinates into the form, you&#x27;ll get a page full of direct, annotated links to maps and imagery. Absolutely no B.S. along the way.<p>Example: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;geohack.toolforge.org&#x2F;geohack.php?params=40_41_21_N_74_2_40_E" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;geohack.toolforge.org&#x2F;geohack.php?params=40_41_21_N_...</a>
