The same spot, in any coordinate format

Take a reading off your device, then watch it land as DD, DMS, UTM, MGRS, a Plus Code and a Geohash at once. Drop a pin to the metre, gauge how tight your fix is, and measure the line between two coordinate pairs — the geodesy runs right here in the page.

Read your coordinates

Nothing happens until you ask. Tap “Use my location”, grant the one-time prompt, and your fix lands as lat/long, DMS and a Plus Code, ready to copy.

Every figure is worked out in the page itself. We never receive a copy of where you are.

From a fix to a finished answer

  1. Capture a point. Hit “Use my location” above for a quick reading, or open What are my coordinates to see every format side by side and drag the pin onto the exact spot.
  2. Reshape it. Drop any coordinate into the converter and read it back as DD, DMS, UTM, MGRS, a Plus Code or a Geohash — copy whichever your tool expects.
  3. Work the geometry. Run distance between coordinates or the midpoint calculator on two pairs; to broadcast where you are live, hop over to livelocation.app.

Latitude, longitude, and why they beat an address

Two numbers pin any spot on the planet: latitude counts degrees north or south of the equator, longitude counts degrees east or west of the prime meridian. Unlike a street address, that pair works in the middle of the ocean, halfway up a ridge, or at a trailhead with no name — and it stays good to a few metres. This site treats that pair as raw material: capture it once, then bend it into whatever shape the job in front of you wants.

DD, DMS, UTM, MGRS, Plus Code and Geohash — when to reach for each

Decimal degrees like 48.8584, 2.2945 paste cleanly into almost anything; DMS carves each degree into minutes and seconds for charts and aviation; UTM and MGRS trade angles for flat metre grids that survey and field crews live on; Plus Codes and Geohash squeeze the whole position into a short string you can text or stash in a database. The coordinate converter turns one input into all six, with focused pages for UTM, MGRS and Plus Codes.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get my GPS coordinates on this page?

Tap “Use my location” at the top and approve the one-time browser prompt — nothing is requested until you do. Your latitude and longitude appear instantly, alongside the DMS and Plus Code versions, all computed in the page. For UTM, MGRS, Geohash and a draggable pin, open What are my coordinates.

Which coordinate formats does the converter handle?

Six: decimal degrees (DD), degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS), UTM, MGRS, Plus Codes (Open Location Code) and Geohash. Paste any one into the coordinate converter and it rewrites the point as the other five, all referenced to WGS84.

Does my location ever leave my device?

No. The conversion and measurement math is plain JavaScript that runs in your browser, so a precise fix has no route back to us. Every tool is free, with no account to create.

How tight is the fix I get?

It mirrors your hardware — a few metres outdoors with a clear sky, looser indoors or in a city canyon. The GPS accuracy test shows your live margin and what to change to shrink it.

Can I share a live, moving location from here?

This site reads and reshapes a coordinate; it does not broadcast one. For a private link that updates as you move, use livelocation.app. To search a place by name, see places.app.
