How to see your current coordinates
- Press Show my coordinates and allow location access when your browser asks.
- Your position appears on the map with a circle showing how accurate it is.
- Copy the format you need, or press Copy link to send your location to someone.
Your location is used only inside this page. It is not sent to CityLabMap; the map provider sees only the map area being displayed.
Why the accuracy changes
Phones combine GPS satellites, Wi-Fi and mobile masts. Outdoors with a clear sky a phone is usually accurate to 3–10 m. Indoors, or on a laptop without GPS, the position may come from Wi-Fi alone and be off by 20–100 m or more. The accuracy circle shows the radius the device reports; wait a few seconds outside for a better fix and press the button again.
If location does not work
- Check that location services are on for your browser (Settings → Privacy → Location on phones).
- Location only works on secure (https) pages — make sure the address starts with https.
- If you denied permission earlier, reset it from the padlock icon next to the address bar.
Sharing your location in an emergency
Read the decimal coordinates out slowly, latitude first, including the minus sign if there is one — or read the MGRS reference, which many rescue services use. Write them down in case your battery runs out.
Frequently asked questions
How do I find my current latitude and longitude?
Press Show my coordinates and allow location access. Your coordinates appear in decimal degrees, DMS, UTM, MGRS and Plus Code.
Why is my location wrong or inaccurate?
Indoors or on a computer the position often comes from Wi-Fi rather than GPS. Go outside with a clear view of the sky and try again; the accuracy circle shows the expected error.
Is my location stored?
No. Your position is used only in your browser to show the coordinates and the map.
