What Is My Location?

Your location is the place where your device is currently detected using GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular, or IP-based signals. Click the button below to find your exact latitude, longitude, full address, and position on the map. Your browser will ask for permission first — your coordinates never leave your device unnecessarily.

Everything this tool shows you

One tap gives you your GPS coordinates in 8 formats (decimal, DMS, DDM, UTM, MGRS, Plus Code, geohash and a w3w-style code), your street address, altitude, time zone, sunrise/sunset and moon phase, local weather, and magnetic declination. From there you can share it (including as a QR code another phone scans in seconds), export it as GPX, KML, GeoJSON or CSV, or save it as a named place like Home or Campsite — everything stays on your device.

Power users: convert any point with the coordinate converter, turn a street address into coordinates with the address-to-GPS tool, measure with the distance calculator, or look up any world city in the coordinates database. On a phone, try the online compass and GPS speedometer — both work offline once the site is installed as an app.

How your location is found (and why accuracy differs)

Browsers combine up to four signals. GPS satellites give 3–10 m accuracy outdoors but need a clear sky. Wi-Fi positioning matches nearby network fingerprints and typically lands within 10–40 m in cities. Cell towers are coarser — 100 m to a few km. And an IP address only places you near your provider's node, often 5–25 km away (see what your IP reveals). This page asks for the best available signal with your permission and shows an accuracy radius on the map, so you always know which kind of answer you are looking at.

Private by architecture, not by promise

Your coordinates are read by your browser and rendered on your screen — they are not stored on our servers, and every helper lookup (address, weather, what3words) is proxied through this site so third parties never see your browser directly. There are no accounts, and nothing you do here is tied to an identity. History and saved places live only in your device's local storage, and files you export are generated locally. The full policy is in our privacy statement — it is short because there is little to disclose.

Frequently asked questions

How accurate is the location shown?

With GPS permission granted, typically 3–10 meters outdoors and 10–40 meters in cities. If you decline, the IP-based fallback is only city-level (5–25 km). The accuracy circle on the map always shows the honest range.

Does this work on iPhone and Android?

Yes — any modern browser on any device. iPhones prompt via Safari's location permission; Android via Chrome's. Laptops without GPS chips use Wi-Fi positioning, which is still accurate to tens of meters.

Is my location stored anywhere?

Not on our servers. Coordinates are read and displayed in your browser. History and saved places exist only in your device's local storage, and you can disable or clear them anytime.

Why does the site ask for permission?

Browsers require explicit user permission before any website can read device location — that's a platform guarantee, not our choice. We only trigger the prompt when you press the locate button.

Can I use this offline?

Partly. Install the site as an app and the compass, speedometer, converter, antipode and saved places work fully offline. Address lookup, weather and map tiles need a connection by nature.
