My Coordinates

See your current geographic coordinates using your device's GPS — latitude, longitude and accuracy.

How to use

  1. Allow the browser to use your GPS or Wi-Fi location — the permission prompt appears once and the coordinates update in real time.
  2. Your latitude, longitude and the accuracy radius appear. On a phone with GPS, accuracy is usually within 5-10 metres.
  3. Copy the coordinates to use in another tool, a map or a form.

About this tool

This tool reads your device's geographic position using the browser's Geolocation API. On a phone, the position comes from the GPS chip and is usually accurate to within 5-10 metres in open sky. On a desktop without GPS, the browser estimates the position from your IP address and nearby Wi-Fi networks, which can be accurate to a city block or off by several kilometres.

Permission is requested only when you click the button, and only once per session. The coordinates are shown on screen and never sent to any server — the Geolocation API is a browser feature, not a web service. If you deny permission, the tool cannot determine your position; change the setting in your browser's site permissions.

The accuracy radius is the browser's own estimate of how reliable the position is. A small number (5-15 m) means GPS lock; a large number (hundreds or thousands of metres) means the position came from IP geolocation or cell towers and should be treated as approximate.

Frequently asked questions

Does my location leave my browser?

No. The coordinates come from the Geolocation API, which is a local browser feature. Nothing is sent to any server.

Why is the accuracy so low on my desktop?

Because desktops usually do not have a GPS chip. The browser estimates the position from your IP address, which can be off by kilometres.

Why does it ask for permission?

Because the Geolocation API requires explicit user consent. This is a browser security feature, not something this page controls.

Can I improve the accuracy?

On a phone, go outside and wait for GPS lock. On a desktop, there is no way to improve it without a GPS receiver.
