The following sites have published [[geo]] microformats, outside their normal context of hCards, and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc., in addition to those in many [[hcard-examples-in-wild|hCard examples in the wild]]. If you find geos outside of hCards anywhere else, feel free to add them to the '''top''' of this list. Once the list grows too big, we'll make a separate wiki page.

Geo Examples In The Wild

This section is informative.

The following sites have published geo microformats, outside their normal context of hCards, and thus are a great place to start for anyone looking for examples "in the wild" to try parsing, indexing, organizing etc., in addition to the in many hCard examples in the wild. If you find Geos outside of hCards anywhere else, feel free to add them to the top of this list.

Pages with live Geo can use this button (see buttons#Geo for any recent additions): geo.png


Examples with some problems

Entries may be moved here if there's a problem with the way Geo is used on the page concerned. If the page is yours, and you want to improve it, see the hCard & Geo FAQ, or raise any queries on hCard & Geo Issues or the mailing list, where people will be happy to help you.
