Locate Coordinates

Many times people need to find a specific location and they need to do it quickly. They do not have time to ask for instructions or know anybody who knows the location. People live their lives with a sense of urgency where they have to find the quickest and most convenient option possible. People sometimes at the last minute need to find a location they have never been before. Thankfully, Google Maps provides a quick and easy way to locate GPS coordinates. They have a wide array of data and information at their disposable. They have very up to date coordinates, more than any other search engine. Here a couple of ways to find locations using google maps.

Firstly, go to maps.google.com and type in the address or location you are interested in. Once it has loaded, you can just look in the address bar and you’ll see the coordinates are contained within the URL itself.

What if the location you are trying to get coordinates for doesn’t have an address that shows up in Google Maps? That’s not a problem either. In that case, you can just right-click anywhere on the screen and choose What’s here?

This will bring up a small box that it located directly below the search box. At the bottom of that box, you will see the decimal coordinates listed.
