Your coordinates, on your terms

One click reads your current GPS position: latitude, longitude, altitude, and accuracy. Nothing is requested until you ask, and nothing ever leaves your device.

Read your position

Press the button to read your position. Your browser will ask for permission first.

How it works

  1. 1. Press the button

    Nothing is requested before that. Your browser then asks for one-time permission.

  2. 2. Read the figures

    Latitude, longitude, altitude when available, and the accuracy radius in metres.

  3. 3. Copy or open a map

    Copy single values or open the point in Google or Apple Maps.

What your coordinates mean

Your coordinates are two numbers: latitude and longitude. Latitude says how far north or south you are, longitude how far east or west. Together they pin your position to a few metres outdoors. Our guide to finding your GPS coordinates shows the same reading inside Apple Maps and Google Maps, plus the formats you will meet.

No map tiles load on this page and nothing is stored. The reading happens in your browser; maps links open only when you click them.

My coordinates questions

Is my location sent anywhere?
No. Your browser reads the position on your device and this page shows it back to you. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or logged by LocateKit. The coordinates leave your tab only if you copy them or open a maps link.
Why does my browser ask for permission first?
Location access is sensitive, so every browser requires your explicit consent per site. This page never asks automatically: the permission prompt appears only after you press the button. You can revoke access at any time in your browser site settings.
How accurate is the reading?
The accuracy figure tells you the honest answer, usually within a few metres outdoors on GPS and within tens of metres indoors on Wi-Fi. If the number looks large, step outside or nearer a window and read again.
Why is altitude missing?
Many devices and browsers simply do not report altitude, especially desktops and indoor readings. When no altitude value arrives, the tool says so instead of guessing.
Does this work on iPhone and Android?
Yes, in any modern mobile browser over HTTPS, as long as location services are on and you grant permission. If the reading fails, the tool shows which step failed so you know what to fix.
Can I look up someone else’s coordinates here?
No. A web page can only read the location of the device it runs on, and only with permission. Nobody can type in a phone number or name and get a position from this tool.
