Finding a GPS Location

Curious about the GPS coordinates of a certain place? Look it up! Handy if you want to remember exactly where that nice bench with that beautiful view was.


With Google Maps you can search for places all over the world with an address or, for example, the name of a hotel. But what if the location has no address, but only exists as a beautiful picnic spot in the forest or a beautiful vantage point at a spectacular waterfall? Would you like to note the exact location of that deserted blue lagoon that you discovered during your last vacation? Then you can use the GPS location. With this longitude and latitude, it is very accurate to determine where a place on Earth is.
