What is my location?
Press Find my location and your browser shows where you are: latitude and longitude, the nearest street address, how precise the fix is and the ground elevation. Your location stays in your browser; only the coordinates go to the address and elevation services, never to High Point GPS.
Your location stays in your browser. Only the coordinates are sent to look up the address (OpenStreetMap) and the elevation (Natural Resources Canada or USGS), never to High Point GPS.
A phone outdoors gives the most precise result. A laptop usually estimates its position from Wi-Fi and can be off by a block or more.

Position: your browser’s Geolocation API; the accuracy is the radius your device reports. Address: Nominatim (nominatim.openstreetmap.org), using OpenStreetMap data, which can be missing or out of date. Elevation: Natural Resources Canada Elevation API, Canadian Digital Elevation Model (Open Government Licence, Canada), and the USGS Elevation Point Query Service, 3D Elevation Program; USGS states an overall error (RMSE) of 0.53 m and that values are interpolated, not surveyed. Phone accuracy: gps.gov. Map tiles © OpenStreetMap contributors. Checked November 6, 2026.
Why your exact location matters
A driver stuck on a rural road, at a job site with no street number or at a customer gate often has to tell dispatch, a tow company or a roadside crew exactly where the vehicle is. Coordinates are precise to a few metres and paste into any map app. The street address gives the paperwork a name, and the elevation helps on mountain routes and at sites where height matters.
Know where every vehicle is without asking
High Point GPS fleet tracking shows each vehicle’s live position on the map and records every trip, stop and the distance run, so dispatch sees the location without a phone call. Geofences around yards and job sites record arrivals and departures, and distance is split by jurisdiction for IFTA.
Get a quoteTips for an accurate location
Use a phone outdoors. Its GPS is far more precise than a laptop, which usually places itself from nearby Wi-Fi networks.
If the accuracy circle is large, wait a few seconds with a clear view of the sky and press the button again.
When you send your position, send the coordinates and the address: the coordinates find the spot, the address goes on the report.
The elevation shown is the ground at that point, from government elevation models, not the height your phone measures.
My location questions
- How do I find my current location?
- Press Find my location and allow location access when the browser asks. The tool shows your latitude and longitude in decimal degrees and in degrees, minutes and seconds, the nearest street address from OpenStreetMap, the accuracy radius and the ground elevation, with your position on the map. Copy buttons put each value on the clipboard.
- Why is my location not accurate?
- A laptop or desktop usually has no GPS, so the browser estimates the position from nearby Wi-Fi networks or the internet connection, which can be off by a block or more. A phone uses GPS: gps.gov says GPS phones are typically accurate to within 4.9 m under open sky, and less near buildings, bridges and trees.
- How do I find my elevation?
- Find your location, or choose Elevation finder and click any spot on the map or type coordinates. The ground elevation comes from Natural Resources Canada for Canada and from the US Geological Survey for the United States, in metres and feet. USGS states its service is accurate to about half a metre overall. Other countries are not covered.
- Does High Point GPS see my location?
- No. Your position stays in your browser and is never sent to High Point GPS. To show the address and elevation, the browser sends only the coordinates to OpenStreetMap’s Nominatim service and to the government elevation service. The share button puts the coordinates in a link only when you press it, and nothing is saved after you leave.
- Why does the browser say location access is blocked?
- You, or a setting, refused location access for this site. On a phone, check that location services are on and that the browser may use them. In the browser, open the site settings next to the address bar, allow location, reload the page and press Find my location again. The tool cannot see your position without that permission.
