Find coordinates from an address or place name
Enter a street address, landmark, city or place name to locate it on the map. More specific searches usually work better when several places share the same name. The result keeps the selected point visible while showing latitude and longitude in decimal degrees, degrees-minutes-seconds, degrees and decimal minutes, and UTM.
Look up an address from latitude and longitude
You can enter a coordinate pair directly or click a point on the map. The coordinate itself remains useful even if the address provider cannot return a street-level match. Reverse geocoding is a best available map-data lookup, not a guarantee that the returned doorway, building or postal label is exact.
Check the map before copying a result
Before using a coordinate for navigation, field work or sharing, compare the marker with nearby streets and landmarks. A small typo, a missing minus sign or reversed latitude and longitude can move a point a long distance. Latitude must remain between -90 and 90, while longitude must remain between -180 and 180.
Understand what each coordinate format is for
Decimal degrees are common in web maps and APIs. DMS is familiar in navigation and traditional geographic notation. DDM appears in some GPS workflows, while UTM uses meter-based eastings and northings within a zone. Use the format expected by the system receiving the coordinate instead of converting only for appearance.
Address searches may use a configured geocoding provider
Typed place searches and address lookups are sent through this site’s secure endpoint to the configured geocoding service. Coordinate format calculations are handled separately in the browser. Review the Privacy Policy before using precise personal location data.
Use an official source when a boundary or address is legally important
Map and geocoding datasets can lag behind new roads, renamed places, property changes or administrative updates. For emergency response, legal boundaries, surveying, land ownership or official mailing records, verify the result with the relevant authority or specialist source.
