| Coordinates with minutes >=60 or <0 (such as 1°75'N)
| Check the coordinates. Many programs treat 1°75' as 2°15'.

If the value is > 60, it's likely that decimal values have been entered as minutes, e.g. 1°75' <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|75|N|2|20|E}}</nowiki></code> instead of 1.75° (<code><nowiki>{{Coord|1.75|N|2.20|E}}</nowiki></code>).
If the value is exactly 60, it may be the result of poor numerical rounding, and only require the carrying of the value into the degrees field.

| Coordinates with seconds >=60 or <0 (such as 1°01'80"N)
| Check the coordinates. Many programs treat 1'80" as 2'20".

If the value is > 60, it's likely that decimal values have been entered as degrees-minutes-seconds, e.g. 1°65'85" <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|65|85|N|2|20|85|E}}</nowiki></code> instead of 1.6585° (<code><nowiki>{{Coord|1.6585|N|2.2085|E}}</nowiki></code>).

If the value is exactly 60, it may be the result of poor numerical rounding, and only require the carrying of the value into the minutes field.

| Coordinates with latitude degrees > 90 (such as 96°N) or longitude degrees >= 360 (such as 7895°W)
| Check the coordinates. It could be that the latitude and longitude are swapped or that a decimal point is missing.
|-
! <big><</big>
| Coordinates with latitude degrees < -90 or longitude degrees <= -360 (e.g. -91°N)
| Check the coordinates. It could be that the latitude and longitude are swapped or that a decimal point is missing.

! <big>?</big>
| {{Tl|Coord}} got parameters that don't match any of the formats it understands.
| Check the unnamed parameters (listed in {{Red|red}} after the error message) against the [[Template:Coord/doc#Usage|template documentation]].
*If '''dec''' format was intended, there should be no more than three unnamed parameters.
*If '''dms''' format was intended, the 4th unnamed parameter should be "N" or "S" and the 8th unnamed parameter should be "E" or "W".
*If '''dm''' format was intended, the 3rd unnamed parameter should be "N" or "S" and the 6th unnamed parameter should be "E" or "W".
*If '''d''' format was intended, the 2nd unnamed parameter should be "N" or "S" and the 4th unnamed parameter should be "E" or "W".

! <big>#</big>
| {{Tl|Coord}} got too many unnamed parameters.
| Check the parameter list against the documentation of {{Tl|coord}}. Often coordinate parameters need to be merged. This can be as simple as replacing a pipe ( | ) with an underscore ( _ ). For example:
*Change <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|type:city</nowiki>|<nowiki>region:ZZ}}</nowiki></code>
::to <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|type:city</nowiki>{{red|_}}<nowiki>region:ZZ}}</nowiki></code>
*Change <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|type:city|format=dms|region:ZZ}}</nowiki></code>
::to <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|type:city_region:ZZ|format=dms}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! <big>D</big>
| {{Tl|Coord}} got a named parameter "dim=".
| Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
*Change <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|dim</nowiki>=<nowiki>100}}</nowiki></code>
::to <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|dim</nowiki>{{red|:}}<nowiki>100}}</nowiki></code>
*Change <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|dim=100|format=dms|region:ZZ}}</nowiki></code>
::to <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|dim:100_region:ZZ|format=dms}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! <big>G</big>
| {{Tl|Coord}} got a named parameter "globe=".
| Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
*Change <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|globe</nowiki>=<nowiki>moon}}</nowiki></code>
::to <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|globe</nowiki>{{red|:}}<nowiki>moon}}</nowiki></code>
*Change <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|globe=moon|format=dms|dim:100}}</nowiki></code>
::to <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|globe:moon_dim:100|format=dms}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! <big>R</big>
| {{Tl|Coord}} got a named parameter "region=".
| Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
*Change <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|region</nowiki>=<nowiki>ZZ}}</nowiki></code>
::to <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|region</nowiki>{{red|:}}<nowiki>ZZ}}</nowiki></code>
*Change <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|type:city|format=dms|region=ZZ}}</nowiki></code>
::to <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|type:city_region:ZZ|format=dms}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! <big>S</big>
| {{Tl|Coord}} got a named parameter "scale=".
| Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
*Change <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|scale</nowiki>=<nowiki>5000}}</nowiki></code>
::to <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|scale</nowiki>{{red|:}}<nowiki>5000}}</nowiki></code>
*Change <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|scale=5000|format=dms|region:ZZ}}</nowiki></code>
::to <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|scale:5000_region:ZZ|format=dms}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! <big>T</big>
| {{Tl|Coord}} got a named parameter "type=".
| Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
*Change <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|type</nowiki>=<nowiki>city}}</nowiki></code>
::to <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|type</nowiki>{{red|:}}<nowiki>city}}</nowiki></code>
*Change <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|type=city|format=dms|region:ZZ}}</nowiki></code>
::to <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|type:city_region:ZZ|format=dms}}</nowiki></code>
|-
! <big>s</big>
| {{Tl|Coord}} got a named parameter "source=".
| Replace the equal sign (=) with a colon (:) and merge as necessary. For example:
*Change <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|source</nowiki>=<nowiki>gnis}}</nowiki></code>
::to <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|source</nowiki>{{red|:}}<nowiki>gnis}}</nowiki></code>
*Change <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|source=gnis|format=dms|region:ZZ}}</nowiki></code>
::to <code><nowiki>{{Coord|1|2|source:gnis_region:ZZ|format=dms}}</nowiki></code>
|}
