Find a place

Where am I right now?

Tap one button to see exactly where you are: the street address nearest your pin, plus the coordinates and Plus Code that mark it and how accurate the fix is. Drag the marker to settle on the exact doorway. Nothing is stored.

Tap the button and allow location access to pin your exact spot. We’ll show your coordinates, address and accuracy.

From a dot to a street address

This tool turns your position into the nearest street address — the place you could actually give to a friend or a driver. Alongside it you get the latitude and longitude that mark the spot, the same point as a short Plus Code you can text, and the GPS accuracy (the ± radius your device trusts the fix to), so you know whether you are pinned to the doorstep or just the block. If you only want the raw numbers in every notation side by side, see what are my coordinates on our sister site; here the focus is the where. Every coordinate uses the WGS84 datum, the same reference frame as GPS satellites and Google Maps.

How to find your location

  1. Open the page. You will first see an approximate location based on your internet connection — usually accurate to your city — so the map is never blank.
  2. Tap “Use my location”. Your browser will ask permission to use GPS. Choose Allow; the request never leaves your device.
  3. Read your position. The latitude, longitude, DMS, Plus Code, accuracy and address all update to your precise spot.
  4. Refine if needed. Drag the map marker (or tap the map) to nudge the point to the exact doorway or pin you mean — every value recalculates instantly.
  5. Copy or open. Copy the coordinates in either format, or tap “Open in Google Maps” to view, share or get directions.

Approximate vs precise: why two locations?

The page opens on a rough guess and sharpens to a fix. At first it reads your whereabouts from your IP address at the network edge — instant, no permission asked, but only good to the city (and sometimes the wrong city, if a VPN or mobile carrier has rerouted you). Tapping the button switches to your device’s GPS, which combines satellites, Wi-Fi and cell towers to pin you to within a few metres outdoors. Indoors or in dense cities the accuracy figure grows because the sky view is blocked — that is normal, and the ± value tells you how much to trust the dot.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is “Where am I?”
It depends on the source. The first reading is from your IP address and is usually only city-accurate. After you tap “Use my location”, GPS typically pins you to within a few metres outdoors; indoors or among tall buildings it can be tens of metres. The ± figure shown is your device’s own estimate of the radius.

Why does it show the wrong city before I tap the button?
The initial location is an approximation based on your internet connection, not GPS. VPNs, proxies and mobile carriers can route you through another city or country. Tap “Use my location” for your real position from GPS.

Is my location stored or sent anywhere?
No. The precise location comes from your browser’s geolocation and stays on your device — it is used only to render the result here and is never saved or transmitted to us. The address lookup sends just the coordinates to a cached, anonymous proxy to fetch the street name.

What is the Plus Code I see?
A Plus Code (Open Location Code) is a short code that names a roughly 14×14 m square anywhere on Earth, even places with no street address. You can paste it into Google Maps or text it to a friend. To explore coordinate formats in detail, use find GPS coordinates.

Can I correct the pin if it is slightly off?
Yes. Drag the marker on the map, or tap anywhere on the map, to move the point. The latitude, longitude, DMS and Plus Code all recompute to the new spot — handy for marking an exact entrance rather than the GPS-estimated centre.

How do I turn my coordinates into a street address?
This tool already shows the nearest address. If you have coordinates from elsewhere and want the address, use GPS to address; to check how high your spot is above sea level, try elevation of a place.
