GPS coordinates finder
Type an address to get its latitude and longitude, or type coordinates to get the nearest address. The result shows both decimal degrees and degrees, minutes and seconds, with copy buttons, and the point on a map you can click to look up any other spot.
Or click the map to get the coordinates and address of any spot.

Search an address, type coordinates or click the map.
Place search and addresses: Nominatim (nominatim.openstreetmap.org), using OpenStreetMap data, a community-maintained map, so an address can be missing, approximate or out of date; check it before you rely on it. Map tiles © OpenStreetMap contributors. Coordinates are shown with a dot as the decimal mark so they paste into any map or GPS unit.
Why you need exact coordinates
Many work sites have no street address: a gravel pit, a pipeline access road, a rural gate or a field drop point. Coordinates send a driver to the exact spot, and they paste into any map app or GPS unit. Going the other way, coordinates from a photo, a report or a device become an address you can put on a work order or send to a customer.
See every vehicle's position, live
High Point GPS fleet tracking shows each vehicle's live position on the map and records every trip, stop and the distance run, so you never have to ask a driver for coordinates. Geofences around job sites and yards can flag a vehicle entering or leaving, and distance is split by jurisdiction for IFTA.
Get a quoteTips for working with GPS coordinates
Write latitude first, then longitude. In Canada and the United States, latitude is positive (north) and longitude is negative (west).
Six decimal places in decimal degrees locate a point to about 10 centimetres, which is more than any vehicle needs.
When you share a site with a driver, send the coordinates and the address: the address for the paperwork, the coordinates for the gate.
Check the pin on the map before you send it. A swapped sign or a missing minus puts the point on another continent.
GPS coordinates questions
- How do I find the GPS coordinates of an address?
- Choose Address to coordinates, type the address, city or postal code, and press Find coordinates. The tool shows the latitude and longitude in decimal degrees and in degrees, minutes and seconds, with the point on the map. Click Copy next to either format to paste it into a map app, a GPS unit or a message.
- How do I find the address of GPS coordinates?
- Choose Coordinates to address and type the latitude and longitude, for example 45.5017, -73.5673, or click any spot on the map. The tool looks up the nearest address in OpenStreetMap and shows it with both coordinate formats. In remote areas the nearest address can be a road or a town rather than a street number.
- What coordinate formats can I type?
- Decimal degrees such as 45.5017, -73.5673, and degrees, minutes and seconds such as 45°30'06.1"N 73°34'02.3"W. Degrees and decimal minutes also work, and the letters N, S, E and W can come before or after each number. Latitude must be between -90 and 90 and longitude between -180 and 180.
- How do I convert degrees, minutes and seconds to decimal degrees?
- Divide the minutes by 60 and the seconds by 3,600, then add both to the degrees. For south latitudes and west longitudes, make the result negative. For example, 45°30'06"N is 45 plus 0.5 plus 0.00167, or 45.50167. This tool does the conversion both ways and shows each format with a copy button.
- Is this GPS coordinates tool free?
- Yes. Look up as many addresses and coordinates as you need, with no sign-up. Addresses come from OpenStreetMap, a free community-maintained map, so check an address before relying on it. High Point GPS does not keep the places you search. The share link stores the point in the link itself, so it opens the same result.
