Frequently asked questions

How do I drop a pin on the map?

Right click on a computer, or tap on a phone or tablet. You can also move the map and use ‘Drop pin at centre’. Once a pin is placed you can drag it to adjust the position.

Why are some coordinates negative?

In decimal degrees, a negative latitude is south of the equator and a negative longitude is west of the prime meridian. In the degrees, minutes, seconds boxes you choose North or South and East or West instead.

How accurate are the results?

Coordinates are shown to six decimal places, which is about a tenth of a metre. How close the pin is to the real spot depends on where you click and on the map data. An address lookup returns the point the map provider has for that address, which may be the middle of a building or street.

Does it find my current location?

Yes. Use the location button on the map. Your browser will ask for permission first, and a pin is placed where your device says you are.

Can I share a location with someone?

Yes. Copy the share link from the results. When someone opens it, the map shows the same spot. You can also copy a Google Maps link.

What is sent to the map provider?

The map tiles are loaded from Mapbox, and address lookups and directions are sent to Mapbox to be answered. Converting coordinates between decimal and degrees, minutes, seconds is done in your browser.
