How to type the coordinates

Latitude first, then longitude, separated by a comma: “47.60621, -122.33207”. Use a minus sign for south and west. Every point in the US has a negative longitude, so if you land in China, you’ve probably dropped the minus sign.

Degrees, minutes and seconds work too, like 47° 36′ 22″ N, 122° 19′ 55″ W.

What counts as a city

We use the Census Bureau’s boundaries for incorporated places (cities, towns, villages and boroughs) and census designated places. If your point is in none of them, it’s in an unincorporated area and we name the county instead.

Outside the US, the town comes from OpenStreetMap, and in Spain from the official municipal boundaries.

Frequently asked questions

Can I convert many coordinates at once?

This tool works one point at a time. To see a whole list, use “Plot coordinates on a map” and tap each point.

Why does it say unincorporated?

The point is outside any city or town limits, so it’s governed by the county. That’s common in suburbs and rural areas.

Does the mailing city matter?

Not here. Postal city names often cover areas outside the actual city limits. We show the official city.

What if the point is at sea?

We’ll tell you it isn’t in any city or country.

Is it free?

Yes, free and with no sign-up. Nothing you type is stored.
