This page is an '''informative''' section of the [[geo|geo specification]].

The following sites have published [[geo|geos]], outside their normal context of [[hcard|hCards]] or [[hcalendar|hCalendars]], and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" for inspiration, or try parsing and indexing, in addition to the in many [[hcard-examples-in-wild|hCard examples in the wild]] and [[hcalendar-examples-in-wild|hCalendar examples in the wild]].

== Large Publishers ==
Examples of large publishers of geo microformat (sorted by stats first, then other presumably large publishers).

=== OpenStreetMap ===
All '''1.6+ billion OpenStreetMap nodes''' have a geo microformat. E.g.
* [http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/1789070056 Haight Street Market]
[https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Stats#Node.2C_way_and_relation_creation OpenStreetMap wiki Stats page] says there are over 1.6 billion nodes on OpenStreetMap.

OpenStreetMap GPS trace pages and diary entry pages [http://www.dankarran.com/blog/archives/2007/09/04/pinpoint_your_openstreetmap_diary_entries.php also have geo].

=== Flickr ===
'''[http://flickr.com/ Flickr]''' [http://blog.flickr.com/flickrblog/2006/08/great_shot_wher.html supports the geo microformat] on all [http://flickr.com/map/ geotagged photos].

Examples which don't publish the geo microformat themselves, but automatically link their geo information to a separate site/page that with their geo microformat markup.

=== Wikipedia ===
Wikipedia's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:GeoTemplate GeoTemplate] which is called by '''many thousands''' of other Wikipedia pages have links to pages exposing their geo microformat markup. Example:
* The coordinates (top right) in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Barr] link to [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/geo/geohack.php?params=52.54833_N_1.93212_W_region:GB_source:enwiki-osgb36(SP047945)]; the latter now has a Geo microformat.

German Wikipedia (Wikipedia-DE) map link pages have geo e.g.
* [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~magnus/geo/geohack.php?language=de&params=52_28_47_N_1_53_51_W_type:city_region:GB maps for Wikipedia-DE article on Birmingham].

Italian Wikipedia (Wikipedia-IT), has geo on all map link pages automatically linked from [http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciale:PuntanoQui/Template:Coord pages using the ''coord'' template], e.g.
