GPS Coordinates Finder
Enter latitude and longitude — or simply click the map — to get the address of any GPS location worldwide, in decimal and DMS formats, with satellite view.

What's at these coordinates?
Every lookup reverse-geocodes the exact point into a readable address — street, city, region, country and postal code.
Latitude and longitude, explained
Every point on Earth is described by two numbers: latitude (how far north or south of the equator, −90° to +90°) and longitude (how far east or west of the prime meridian, −180° to +180°). Positive latitudes are north, positive longitudes are east — which is why Paris is 48.8584, 2.2945 while Rio de Janeiro is -22.9519, -43.2105.
Decimal degrees vs DMS
GPS devices and mapping apps usually speak decimal degrees (48.8584, 2.2945), while traditional nautical-style notation uses degrees, minutes, seconds (48° 51' 50.2" N, 2° 17' 40.2" E). This tool understands both on input and always shows both on output, so you can paste coordinates from anywhere and share them anywhere.
What people use it for
- Geotagged photos — paste the coordinates from a photo's EXIF data to see where it was taken.
- Meeting points and trailheads — coordinates are unambiguous where street addresses don't exist.
- Property and land records — verify the position of a plot on satellite imagery.
- Developer debugging — sanity-check lat/lon pairs in APIs and databases by eyeballing them on the map.
Order matters: latitude always comes first, then longitude. If your point lands in the wrong hemisphere or ocean, the two numbers were probably swapped — the tool auto-corrects the most common case.

GPS coordinates — questions
Which coordinate formats can I enter?
Decimal degrees like 48.8584, 2.2945 (or with hemisphere letters like N 48.8584 E 2.2945) and degrees-minutes-seconds like 48°51'50"N, 2°17'40"E. The result is shown in both formats, ready to copy.
How precise are the addresses?
The tool reverse-geocodes the exact coordinate pair you provide. In cities the result usually resolves to a street or block; in rural or remote areas it may fall back to the nearest town, region or country.
Can I find the address of a place by clicking the map?
Yes — click or tap anywhere on the map and the tool drops a marker there, fills in its latitude and longitude, and looks up the address of that point.
What's the difference between GPS coordinates and an IP address location?
GPS coordinates describe a physical point on Earth, accurate to a few metres. An IP address location is an approximation derived from your internet provider's records and can be off by an entire city. Use this tool for exact places, and the IP locator to see what your connection reveals.
