The hemisphere identifiers (''N/S'') and (''E/W''), if used, must be adjacent to the enclosing pipe "'''<code>|</code>'''" characters, and cannot be preceded or succeeded by spaces.

There are two kinds of parameters, all optional:

*<span id="1">'''Coordinate parameters'''</span> are parameters that {{tl|Coord}} passes to the map server. These have the format ''parameter:value'' and are separated from each other by the underscore character ( _ ). The supported coordinate parameters are ''dim:'', ''globe:'', ''region:'', ''scale:'', ''source:'', and ''type:''. See [[#Coordinate parameters|coordinate parameters]] for details and examples.

*<span id="2">'''Template parameters'''</span> are parameters used by the {{tl|Coord}} template.  These have format ''parameter=value'' and are separated from each other by the pipe character ( | ). The supported template parameters are ''display='', ''format='', ''name='', and ''notes=''.
:* '''display=''' can be one of the following:
::* <code>display=inline</code> – Display the coordinate inline (default)
::* <code>display=title</code> – Display the coordinate at the top of the article, beside the article's title (replaces {{tl|coor title dms}} family; coordinates are displayed in desktop view only; title coordinates do not display in mobile view)
::** shortcut: <code>display=t</code>
::* <code>display=inline,title</code> – Display the coordinate both inline and beside the article's title (replaces {{tl|coor at dms}} family)
::** shortcut: <code>display=it</code>
::* <code>display=title,inline</code> has the same effect as <code>display=inline,title</code>
::Note: the <code>title</code> attribute indicates that the coordinates apply to the entire article, and not just one of (perhaps many) places mentioned in it—so it should only be omitted in the latter case. Additionally the title option will mark the coordinates as the primary coordinates for the page (and topic of the page) in the [[mw:API:Geosearch|geosearch API]].
:* '''format=''' can be used to force ''dec'' or ''dms'' coordinate display.
::* <code>format=dec</code> reformats the coordinates to <span style="text-decoration:underline;">decimal degrees</span> format.
::* <code>format=dms</code> reformats the coordinates to <span style="text-decoration:underline;">degrees | minutes | seconds</span> format.
:* '''name=''' can be used to annotate inline coordinates for display in map services such as the [[:meta:WikiMiniAtlas|WikiMiniAtlas]]. If omitted, the article's title (PAGENAME) is assumed.
::Note: a ''name='' parameter causes {{tl|Coord}} to emit an [[hCard]] [[microformat]] using that name, ''even if used within an existing hCard''. Do not use when the name is that of a person (e.g for a gravesite), as the generated hCard would be invalid. Also, do not use square brackets in names.
:* '''notes=''' specifies text to be displayed immediately following the coordinates.  This is primarily intended for adding footnotes to coordinates displayed beside the title.
:* '''qid=''' specify Q item to display the coordinates of. Used primarily by Wikidata powered infoboxes.
