Convert any address to GPS coordinates, or look up the address for a latitude and longitude pair.
GPS coordinates describe a precise point on the Earth's surface using two numbers: latitude (north-south position, between -90 and 90) and longitude (east-west position, between -180 and 180). Together they form a unique pair that pinpoints any location on the planet to within a few meters. They are the universal language of mapping, navigation, logistics, and location-based applications.
The most common format is decimal degrees (DD), for example 48.8584, 2.2945. You will also see degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS) such as 48 degrees 51 minutes 30 seconds N, used in older maps and aviation. This tool returns decimal degrees with six digits of precision, accurate to about ten centimeters. Latitude is always written first, followed by longitude.
Coordinates are used for delivery routing, fleet tracking, real estate listings, store locators, geofencing, geotagged photos, weather data, scientific research, and any application that needs to associate something with a place. If you are building software that handles addresses, you almost always want to store coordinates alongside them so you can compute distances, route between points, and place markers on a map.
This tool runs on the MapAtlas Geocoding API, the same forward and reverse geocoding endpoints you can call from your own application. EU-hosted, GDPR-compliant, with a generous free tier and predictable pay-as-you-go pricing.
