Use our free and simple Latitude and Longitude Finder to quickly get the GPS coordinates of any location on Earth. Just click on the interactive map or enter an address in the search bar, and the latitude and longitude will be displayed instantly.
GPS coordinates are formed by two components that are a latitude, giving the north-south position, and a longitude, giving the east-west position. Use this map to convert any address in its GPS coordinates. You can also find the location of any GPS coordinates, and geocode its address if available.
Latitude and longitude are geographic coordinates that help pinpoint any location on the planet. Latitude lines run horizontally (North-South) and longitude lines run vertically (East-West).
These five criteria are the basis of the different geodetic systems used through history.
Currently, the most commonly used geodetic system is WGS 84 (used notably for GPS coordinates).

The sexagesimal coordinates have three components: degrees, minutes and seconds. Each of these components is usually an integer, but the seconds can be a decimal number in case of need of a greater precision..
One angle degree includes 60 angle minutes and one angule minute consists of 60 angle seconds of arc
Unlike decimal coordinates the sexagesimal coordinates can not be negative. In their case, the letter W or E is added to the longitude to specify the position east-west from the Greenwich meridian, and the letter N or S to the latitude to designate the hemisphere (North or South)
