What is my Plus Code?

A Plus Code is a short, free digital address for any spot on Earth — even places with no street address. Use your current location or type a latitude/longitude to get a Plus Code, or paste a Plus Code to see its exact coordinates and grid cell on the map. Everything runs in your browser.

All coordinates use the WGS84 datum.

Plus Codes are Open Location Codes on the WGS84 datum. A 10-character code (e.g. 87G7PX7V+9Q) marks an area about 14 × 14 m; add an 11th character to reach roughly 3 m. Shorter codes cover larger areas. Conversion is exact math and never leaves your device.

What is a Plus Code?

A Plus Code, or Open Location Code, is a short alphanumeric label that names any location on Earth — including places without a street address. Derived only from latitude and longitude, it works offline, is free and open-source, and can be shared in a text, app or map search to point at an exact spot.

How to find or convert a Plus Code

  1. To get your code, switch to “Location → Plus Code”, tap “Use my location”, or paste a latitude/longitude — your 10-digit Plus Code appears instantly.
  2. To convert a code, switch to “Plus Code → location” and paste a full code such as 87G7PX7V+9Q to see its latitude, longitude and DMS.
  3. Read the precision for the code length, view the exact grid cell on the map, and tap copy to share the value you need.

6 digits87G7PX00+≈ 5.5 kmA neighbourhood or district
8 digits87G7PX7V+≈ 275 mA block or large building
10 digits87G7PX7V+9Q≈ 14 mA doorway, entrance or pin (default)
11 digits87G7PX7V+9QC≈ 3 mA precise spot within a property

Plus Codes vs. latitude and longitude

A Plus Code and a latitude/longitude pair describe the same point — a code is just shorter and easier to read aloud or text. Convert freely with our coordinate converter, or jump straight to your coordinates. Plus Codes encode an area (a grid cell), so longer codes mean a smaller, more precise cell.

Privacy and accuracy

This tool uses the same open-source Open Location Code algorithm Google released, running entirely in your browser on the WGS84 datum — your location and codes are never uploaded. Encoding and decoding are exact, so a 10-digit code reliably resolves to a roughly 14-metre cell anywhere on Earth.

Frequently asked questions

What is my Plus Code?
Your Plus Code is a short digital address for wherever you are. Switch this tool to “Location → Plus Code” and tap “Use my location” to generate it from your device’s GPS — a 10-digit code marks a roughly 14-metre area you can share with anyone, no street address required.

How do I convert a Plus Code to latitude and longitude?
Choose “Plus Code → location” and paste a full code like 87G7PX7V+9Q. The tool decodes it to a centre latitude and longitude (also shown in DMS) and draws the code’s exact grid cell on the map. For other notations, use the coordinate converter.

How accurate is a Plus Code?
Accuracy depends on length. A standard 10-character code covers about 14 × 14 metres — enough for a doorway. Adding an 11th character shrinks it to roughly 3 metres, while shorter 8- or 6-character codes cover blocks or neighbourhoods. The cell size is shown for any code you decode.

What is a short Plus Code with a town name?
A short code drops the first four or six characters and pairs the rest with a nearby town or city, e.g. “PX7V+9Q New York”. It is easier to remember and share locally; the town tells the reader which region to resolve it against. Tap “Get short code + locality” after decoding a code.

Are Plus Codes free and private?
Yes. Plus Codes are an open, free, open-source standard (Open Location Code) with no licensing. This finder runs entirely in your browser — no API call, account or upload — so your coordinates stay on your device. You can use the resulting code in Google Maps, a text or any app.

Can I open a Plus Code in a map?
Yes. After decoding a code you’ll see the precise area on the live map here, and you can copy the latitude/longitude to open it anywhere. You can also paste a Plus Code directly into Google Maps search, and most map apps now recognise the format.
