Longitude is how far east or west you are from the prime meridian in Greenwich, London (from -180 to 180). Decimal degrees such as 40.748817, -73.985428 are best for typing into apps; degrees, minutes and seconds (DMS) such as 40&deg; 44&prime; 55.7&Prime; N are used on paper maps and in aviation and boating. The converter under the tool switches between the two formats.<\/p>\n<h2>What is my address or ZIP code?<\/h2>\n<p>Press <strong>Open in Google Maps<\/strong>. The map drops a pin on your exact coordinates and shows the nearest street address, including the ZIP or postal code.

Nothing is sent to QuickOnlineTips or stored. A map site sees the coordinates only if you click one of the map links.<\/p>\n<h3>How accurate is it?<\/h3>\n<p>Phones with GPS are often accurate to a few metres outdoors. Laptops and desktops are usually accurate to tens or hundreds of metres. The tool shows the accuracy your device reports.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is location blocked?<\/h3>\n<p>Your browser or phone settings may block location for websites.
