Address to latitude and longitude

To get the latitude and longitude of an address, type the full address into the box above and press “Get coordinates”. The tool finds the address on the map (geocoding) and returns its GPS coordinates in decimal degrees, along with DMS format and a map pin you can adjust.

1. Enter the address: house number, street, city, and country for best results.
2. Press Get coordinates.
3. Check the pin is on the right building. If not, click the map to correct it — the coordinates update.
4. Click Copy to paste the latitude and longitude into your app, spreadsheet or GPS.

A “GPS address” is simply the latitude and longitude of a location — the coordinates a GPS device or map app uses to navigate. Converting a street address to a GPS address lets you share an exact point even where street addresses are missing, duplicated or confusing.

• Include the country — “Springfield” exists in dozens of places.
• Use the local address format — e.g. postcode after the town in the UK, ZIP after the state in the US.
• Start broad if nothing is found — search the street and city, then click the exact building on the map.
• For rural locations, search the nearest village and click the precise spot.

Geocoding matches the text of an address against a database of streets, buildings and places, then returns the coordinates of the best match. This tool uses OpenStreetMap data via the Nominatim geocoding service. When an exact house number is not in the data, the result may be interpolated along the street or placed at the street’s centre, so always check the pin.
