Decimal degrees or DMS?
Decimal degrees use one number for each coordinate, such as 51.5, -0.12. DMS splits each angle into degrees (°), minutes (′) and seconds (″). One degree contains 60 minutes, and one minute contains 60 seconds.

Latitude and longitude are geographic coordinates that describe a position on Earth. Latitude measures the angle north or south of the equator, from -90° to 90°. Longitude measures the angle east or west of the prime meridian, from -180° to 180°. Together, they identify a point on the map.
What are the GPS coordinates of a location?
GPS coordinates are latitude and longitude values used to locate a position. You can write the same position in decimal degrees (DD) or degrees, minutes and seconds (DMS). For example, 51.5° N, 0.12° W is 51° 30′ 0″ N, 0° 7′ 12″ W. When entering a pair into a navigation app, check the required order and format.

How to read and use GPS coordinates
What do negative values mean?
A negative latitude is south of the equator; a negative longitude is west of the prime meridian. Positive values indicate north and east. Use either a minus sign or a compass direction consistently.
Which coordinate comes first?
The copy button uses latitude, longitude order. Many navigation apps accept this format, but some mapping tools and data formats use longitude first. Check the destination field before pasting.
Questions about finding coordinates
How accurate are the coordinates on the map?
The coordinates describe the selected map point. A place search can return a city centre, street or approximate address. More decimal places do not guarantee greater accuracy. For a specific entrance or building, zoom in and adjust the pin.
Can I find the coordinates of my current location?
Select Use my location and allow location access in your browser. Your device estimates your position using the location services available to it. Accuracy varies with your device and surroundings.
What are UTM coordinates?
The Universal Transverse Mercator system divides the world into numbered zones and describes positions using easting and northing in metres. Keep the zone and hemisphere with the numbers when sharing UTM coordinates. Standard UTM coverage runs from 80° south to 84° north.
Can I find a place without knowing its address?
Yes. Search for a landmark or city, or zoom and click directly on the map. If you already know the place name, you can also browse the location directory.
