What is my location?
Enter the latitude and longitude your phone or map shows and get them in decimal degrees, degrees-minutes-seconds and a geo link. This page never asks for your device location and never looks you up by IP address.
How to read your result
Coordinates are in decimal degrees on the WGS84 datum, the system GPS and most web maps use. Latitude runs from -90 (south pole) to 90 (north pole) and longitude from -180 to 180, measured from the prime meridian. The same value is shown in degrees, minutes and seconds, where one degree is 60 minutes and one minute is 60 seconds, with N, S, E or W in place of the minus sign.
Five decimal places is about one metre on the ground, which is more than a phone can usually promise. A reading with four decimals places you within about 11 metres. Phones outdoors with a clear sky are usually accurate to a few metres, while indoor readings that rely on Wi-Fi or mobile towers can be off by hundreds of metres.
This page does not read your device location. The browser feature that does so is powerful enough that the W3C specification requires express permission before any page may use it, and this site does not open it to pages that carry advertising. You supply the numbers, and the tool reformats them. It also builds a geo: link and an ISO 6709 string you can copy into other software.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find my latitude and longitude?
On a phone, open a maps app and press and hold your spot, or open the compass app. Copy the two numbers it shows, paste them into the boxes and press Show details. The page then shows both numbers in decimal degrees and in degrees, minutes and seconds.
What formats can I type?
Decimal degrees such as 43.6532 and -79.3832, a pair such as 43.6532, -79.3832 pasted into the first box, or degrees, minutes and seconds such as 43°39'11.5"N. A minus sign or the letters S and W mean south and west.
Why does this page not use my device location?
Location is a powerful browser feature, and this site does not grant it to any page that carries advertising. Typing the numbers keeps your position out of reach of advertising scripts. Your coordinates stay inside an isolated frame that has no network access.
Does this site store or share my location?
No. The numbers you type are read inside a sealed frame with no network access, shown there and not stored or sent. The advertising on the page around the frame cannot read the frame.
How is this different from an IP address location?
An IP lookup guesses a place from your provider's network and is usually only city level. This tool does no lookup at all: it reformats the exact coordinates you give it. For the IP version, see the IP address checker.
Private by design
The coordinates you type are processed inside an isolated frame on this page. The frame cannot reach the network, so they are not stored, sent to TNAADO or passed to any other service, and the advertising around the frame cannot read them. This tool only reformats numbers: it does not check that the place exists or that the coordinates are yours.
