About GPS Coordinates Finder & Converter
GPS Coordinates Finder & Converter gives you the exact latitude and longitude of any place, and converts coordinates between the formats different apps and devices use. Type an address, paste coordinates, use your current location, or click anywhere on the map, and you get the point in decimal degrees (18.520389, 73.856694), degrees-minutes-seconds (18°31′13.4″N 73°51′24.1″E) and degrees with decimal minutes, each with a copy button, plus the local time zone and current time there. It understands coordinates written in almost any common style, with or without N/S/E/W letters, so you can paste values from a GPS unit, a survey document, a photo’s metadata or a website. Click “Find the address here” to look up the nearest street address for any point. Format conversion, time zones and map clicks are worked out in your browser; only address searches are sent to Google through our server, and their answers are cached so repeated searches are instant. Coordinates use WGS84, the system used by GPS, Google Maps and almost every navigation app.

When you need coordinates
Precise locations for real tasks
Sharing an exact spot
Send a pin that works even where there is no street address.

Hiking and outdoors
Convert coordinates for a GPS device or map.
ExampleA trekker converts decimal coordinates to degrees-minutes-seconds for a paper map.
Survey and property papers
Check coordinates written in documents.
ExampleA landowner pastes DMS coordinates from a survey report to see the spot on the map.
Photo locations
Look up where a geotagged photo was taken.
ExampleA photographer pastes coordinates from a photo’s metadata to find the viewpoint again.
Developers and data
Get test coordinates and the matching address.
ExampleA developer collects coordinates for store locations to test a store-finder feature.
Coordinate tips
Avoid the common mix-ups
Latitude comes first
Most apps expect latitude (north–south) before longitude (east–west). Swapping them puts the pin in the wrong country.
Watch the minus signs
South latitudes and west longitudes are negative in decimal format. Losing the minus sign moves the point across the world.
Six decimals is plenty
Six decimal places is precise to about 10 cm, more than enough for any address or meeting point.
Phone location is more precise
“Use my location” on a phone uses GPS; on a computer it is often only accurate to the neighbourhood.
Check photos for hidden locations
Photos from phones often contain GPS coordinates. See and remove them before sharing.
