What are my GPS coordinates?
Get the exact latitude and longitude of your current location in one tap — in decimal degrees and DMS, ready to copy, share, or open in Google Maps, Apple Maps, OpenStreetMap, or Waze.
Acquiring your position…
The basics
How to read your coordinates
GPS coordinates are two numbers that pinpoint any spot on Earth. Latitude comes first and measures north–south; longitude measures east–west. New York City, for example, is 40.7128, -74.0060 in decimal degrees — or 40° 42′ 46″ N, 74° 0′ 21″ W in degrees, minutes, seconds. Google Maps and every other map app accept both: paste either one straight into the search box.
Accuracy
How accurate is this?
As accurate as your device's fix. A phone with GPS is usually within 5–20 meters outdoors; a desktop locating itself through Wi-Fi may be off by a city block; without either, the first estimate can come from your IP address and land kilometers away. This page keeps refining for a few seconds after the first fix — watch the accuracy readout shrink. For the tightest result, use a phone, step outside, and (on iPhone) make sure Precise Location is on for your browser. The GPS system itself is accurate to a few meters under open sky.
On your phone
Get coordinates on iPhone or Android
The fastest way is to open this page — it works in Safari and Chrome with no app to install. Prefer a built-in option? On iPhone, the Compass app shows your coordinates at the bottom of the screen. On Android, press and hold any spot in Google Maps and the coordinates appear in the search bar. Either way, this page adds what those don't: one-tap copying, DMS and decimal formats side by side, and a shareable link.
Privacy
Your location stays yours
Your position is read by your browser and displayed on your screen — that's the whole pipeline. Nothing is sent to us, stored, or shared, and there are no ads or trackers waiting for it. Close the tab and it's gone. The only exception is one you create on purpose: the "Share link" option puts coordinates in a URL so you can send a spot to someone else.
FAQ
Quick answers
Why are my coordinates off by a few hundred meters?
You're probably on a desktop, which guesses from nearby Wi-Fi networks instead of GPS. Open this page on your phone for a satellite fix.
Which number is latitude?
The first one. Latitude runs -90 to 90 (north–south), longitude runs -180 to 180 (east–west). If a value is bigger than 90, it's the longitude.
Can I send someone this exact spot?
Yes — choose "Share link" in the Copy menu. Anyone who opens the link sees the same coordinates, with buttons to open them in their own maps app.
What do people use coordinates for?
Meeting points where addresses don't work, geocaching and hiking waypoints, marking trailheads or parking spots, delivery and survey work, and location-based lookups like sunrise and sunset times.
Need the other format?
Convert between decimal degrees and DMS in both directions.
