If you want to enter a certain coordinate in Google Maps or Google Earth, you only need to enter it into the search engine, following certain rules. This is a very practical way out if you want to send someone via chat or send via e-mail the coordinate we want you to render.
Nomenclature of degrees
Google Earth uses a brass-type angular coordinate system, so it must be written in the order latitude, longitude.
In the case of latitudes for the northern hemisphere, it will be necessary to write it positive, negative for the southern hemisphere. In the case of latitudes for the eastern hemisphere (from Greenwich to Asia), it will be positive, and for the west, that is, for America, it will be negative.
In the case of Google Earth, written in the left panel, recorded and then click on search
Google Maps if , in the top left search engine, and then click the "search" button, as shown in the following examples.
1. Coordinates in degrees, minutes and seconds (DMS): 41°24’12.2″N 2°10’26.5″E
In this case, the decimals must be in seconds and the degrees must be rounded.
This means that this coordinate is 41 degrees above the equator because it is positive, and 2 degrees east of Greenwich because it is positive. A common mistake is the minute symbol, you should use ("), often people confuse it with an apostrophe and generate an error (").
If you're having trouble finding a character, you can copy paste from that address 41°24"12.2"N 2°10"26.5"E and just change the data.
2. Coordinates in degrees and minutes (DMM): 41 24.2028, 2 10.4418
Degrees are rounded, and minutes include decimals that will be carried over by seconds. As you can see, in the lower part the same coordinate is reflected only in degrees.
3. Coordinates in decimal degrees without minutes or seconds (DD): 41.40338, 2.17403
In this case, there are only degrees, and this is the most used latitude/longitude type, and as you can see, always the top line stores the coordinate in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
4. UTM coordinates in Google Maps
For UTM coordinates, Google Maps does not have a feature that allows you to enter coordinates. You can do it with an excel template and drag and drop them as shown in the following application.
Step 1: Download the data feed template. Although the article focuses on UTM coordinates, the app has latitude and longitude templates in decimal degrees, as well as degrees, minutes, and seconds format.
Step 2. Download the template By selecting a template with data, the system will issue a warning if there was data that could not be verified; These checks include:
- If the coordinate columns are empty
- If coordinates have non-numeric fields
- If the zones are not between 1 and 60
- If in the hemisphere of the field there is something other than north or south.
In the case of long coordinates, it is true that latitudes do not exceed 90 degrees or that longitudes exceed 180.
Description data supports HTML content such as shown in the example, which includes image expansion. The same will support things like links to routes on the web or to local disk computer, video or any other content.
Step 3. Show the data in the table and on the map.
Immediately the data is loaded, the table will show the alphanumeric data and the geographic location map; As you can see, the loading process involves converting these coordinates to geographic format, as required by Google Maps.
By dragging the icon on the map, you can preview the street views or 360 views uploaded by users.
Once the icon is released, you can visualize the waypoints placed in Google Street View and navigate through them. By clicking on the icons, you can see the details.
Step 4. Get Map Coordinates, You can add points to an empty table or one loaded from Excel; the coordinates will be displayed based on this template, automatically numbering the label column and adding the details obtained from the map.
Here you can see the template in action in the video.
Upload a Kml map or spreadsheet to Excel using the gTools service.
Enter the upload code, after which you have a file that you can view in Google Earth or any GIS program; The application shows where you can get the download code, with which you can download up to 400 times, without limiting the number of vertices in each download using the gTools API. The map also shows the coordinates from Google Earth, while the views of three-dimensional models are activated.
In addition to kml you can also download in excel format in UTM format, latitude/longitude in decimals, degrees/minutes/seconds and even DXF to open it with AutoCAD or Microstation.
In the following video, you can see how the data and other features of the application are loaded.
WITH Google Planet Earth you can find out the coordinates of latitude and longitude for any point on the globe. This feature is available in the PC version.
How to find out the coordinates
- Move the cursor to the desired point. The coordinates will appear in the lower right corner of the window.
If the cursor is outside the map, Google Earth will show the coordinates for the point in the center of the screen.
How to choose a coordinate format
You can choose how the program displays the coordinates. The following formats are available to you:
- Example: 37.7°, -122.2° .
- Degrees, minutes, seconds.
- Degrees, minutes with decimals. Example: 32° 18.385"N 122° 36.875"W.
- Universal Transverse Mercator. Example: 549912.16 m B 8481456.23 m S.
How to search using coordinates
If you know the coordinates, Google Earth will instantly take you to the right place.
- Open the Google Earth app.
- In the search bar on the left, enter coordinates in one of these formats:
- Degrees with decimals. Example: 37.7°, -122.2° .
- Degrees, minutes, seconds. Example: 37°25"19.07"N, 122°05"06.24"W.
- Google Earth will take you to that point, and its coordinates will appear in the lower right corner of the screen.
How to show the coordinate grid on the map
To find out the exact location more conveniently, turn on the coordinate grid:
The main coordinates are marked on the grid lines. The exact values are shown in the lower right corner of the screen.
One of the main and most interesting functions of the Google Earth program is the search for any objects and places using known coordinates. To do this, you must enter the necessary data in a specially designated search box. If you are working with the program for the first time and do not know how to enter coordinates in google earth, then read this article and follow the steps described here step by step.
Before proceeding directly to entering coordinates in Google Earth, let's deal with the terminology, which will greatly facilitate the process of finding and entering them. For any point on the planet, latitude is indicated first, and then longitude. As an example, consider the coordinates of the London Big Ben "a. For him:
- latitude - 51 ° 30 "and 3" N;
- longitude - 0°, 7" and 28" W.
Degrees (°) are listed first, followed by minutes(") and seconds("). The letter at the end ("N", "W", "E", "S" or "C", "S", "Z", "B") - the direction of the world (north, south, west and east, respectively). It turns out that the coordinates for the London Big Ben will be read as follows: fifty-one degrees thirty minutes and three seconds of northern (sign N) latitude (because it is always indicated first) and zero degrees, seven minutes and twenty-eight seconds of western longitude .
Instructions for entering coordinates
- Open Google Earth and wait for it to fully load (you need an Internet connection to work).
- At the top of the screen, find the "Add" tab and select "Label" from the drop-down list.
- You can also use hotkeys to quick access To desired function(shown next to the title). For "Label" this is the simultaneous pressing of the "CTRL", "Shift" and "P" buttons (English layout).
- A window for entering coordinates will open as shown in the screenshot below. In our tutorial, we use Big Ben's data, but you can try any others. To do this, just use the search or find out the coordinates of any important geographical object on Wikipedia.
- Enter the width in the Width field and the longitude in the Longitude field.
- In the topmost field, enter a clear name for the label.
- Now, in the same window, click on the "Description" button or in the "Label Name" field. After that, you will move to the point you just entered.
- To save the label, click on the "OK" button or "Cancel" to delete changes made(the screen will not move anywhere and you can continue your observations).
Now you know how to use the search by coordinates in Google Earth and you can easily find any object. To zoom in and view it closer, use the mouse wheel.

Mapping services on the Internet are becoming more and more popular among web users and various mobile applications. Such resources are created in order to quickly find a city, country, street, determine the coordinates locality. In this regard, global search engines, for example, Yandex and Google, produce online and offline applications that allow you to search by coordinates on the map. By entering data on latitude and longitude in the desired line, a person gets the opportunity to determine exactly where the desired object is located.
How to find out and enter the coordinates of a place
The user must download a map of the desired country or region to a computer, laptop or gadget. The search for coordinates and entering them to determine the location is carried out as follows:
- Open the search bar on the map.
- Choose an option from the proposed categories - "food", "hotels", "transport", "attractions", "shop", "ATM", "parking", etc.
- Choose desired option requests to determine the coordinates. First, the address. Here enter the city, street, house number. Secondly, the name of the place. Thirdly, any keyword. The search bar will suggest possible words.
- Select "coordinates" in the search bar, click "reflect on map". The desired object will be displayed on the map.
- In decimal degrees - 21.40043, 2.1235.
- In degrees and decimal minutes - 41 24.2028.
- In degrees, minutes and seconds - 28°29'12.2"N 5°12'20.5"E.
- The Latin letter d is replaced by the degree sign.
- Use dots instead of commas to separate coordinates.
- First enter the latitude and then the longitude.
- Latitude is indicated in values from -90 degrees to 90 degrees.
- Longitude is specified in the range from -180 degrees to 180 degrees.
It often happens that you need to find the location of an object in another country. In this case, the user first selects a country, and then searches for a place.
Determining the coordinates of an object is very simple. Having found a place on the map, the user clicks on it and looks at the bottom of the screen. The exact coordinates of the place will be indicated there. The received information is expressed in several formats:
