- Read the result. You’ll get the full address, exact latitude and longitude, and a map pin you can copy or open in Google Maps.
- Go further. Jump to distance between cities, the local time, a postal code, or the elevation — the place you found flows straight into the next tool.
What is a “place”, exactly?
A place is anything you can point to: a capital city, a mountain pass, a corner café, a park bench at the end of a lane. Every one of them has the same pair of numbers behind it — its latitude and longitude. Places turns the names people use into those numbers and back, so “Eiffel Tower” becomes 48.858370, 2.294481, plus an address, a map, the local time and its elevation.
Address vs coordinates — what’s the difference?
An address (“20 W 34th St, New York”) is how people describe a place; coordinates (“40.748440, -73.985664”) are how maps and machines describe the exact same spot. Addresses are easy to read but can be ambiguous, and not everywhere has one; coordinates are precise to a few metres and work anywhere on Earth — over oceans, in deserts, on trails. Converting between the two is the core of what Places does, and it’s why a single point can drive a delivery, a meeting pin, or a search.
