My Location

My location now

A quick where am I right now check, the namesake tool of the hub. It opens with a rough city-level guess from your IP, then swaps to exact GPS coordinates, an accuracy radius, your address and the ground elevation the instant you tap Use precise location. It all paints in your browser and is never saved. Want this in your pocket with saved places too? That is the My Location app.

Your approximate location loads instantly with no permission. Precise GPS only runs after you allow it — and stays in your browser. Nothing is stored.

What does "my location" show?

This tool answers "where am I right now" two ways. On load it shows an approximate, city-level position derived from your IP address — no permission needed. Tap "Use precise location" and your device returns exact latitude and longitude, an accuracy radius in meters, a reverse-geocoded address and the ground elevation, all plotted on a map.

How to find your current location

  1. Open the page — your approximate location and city appear instantly from your IP, with no prompt.
  2. Tap Use precise location and allow the browser's permission request to switch to exact GPS coordinates and an accuracy circle.
  3. Read your latitude/longitude in decimal degrees and DMS, plus the address and elevation that load in the background.
  4. Copy the coordinates, share a map link, convert them to UTM, MGRS or a Plus Code, or open the point in Google Maps.

Accuracy, privacy and limitations

The IP estimate is approximate by design — it places you near a network hub, not at your door, and a VPN can move it to another city. Precise location uses your device's GPS, Wi-Fi and cell signals and is far more exact; the ± value is the radius your real position likely falls within. Coordinates use the WGS84 datum, and nothing about your location is ever stored. Need height instead? See what is my elevation.

Frequently asked questions

How does this tool know my location?
Two ways. First it reads your public IP address at the edge to estimate a city-level location with no permission needed. When you tap "Use precise location," your browser asks consent and your device returns exact GPS coordinates, accuracy, address and elevation.

Why is my location wrong or in another city?
The instant result is IP-based, so it points near your internet provider's hub rather than your exact address, and a VPN or proxy shifts it elsewhere. Tap "Use precise location" and allow the prompt to get accurate GPS coordinates from your device instead.

Is my location private?
Yes. The approximate IP estimate is processed at the edge and not logged. Precise GPS only runs after you allow it and is used entirely in your browser to draw the map and readouts — it is never transmitted to or stored by us.

What are my exact coordinates right now?
After you tap "Use precise location," your latitude and longitude appear in decimal degrees and DMS with a ± accuracy radius. Copy or share them, or send them to the coordinate converter to get UTM, MGRS, Plus Code and Geohash.

Why does the browser ask for permission?
Browsers require your explicit consent before sharing precise GPS. If you decline, you still see the approximate IP-based location. You can re-enable access anytime in your browser's site settings, then tap "Use precise location" again.

Does this work on my phone?
Yes. On phones and tablets the precise option uses the built-in GPS, so coordinates are usually accurate to a few meters outdoors. On a desktop without GPS it relies on Wi-Fi and IP, which is less exact but still useful for finding your coordinates.
