Share my location

Need to tell someone exactly where you are? Tap the button, allow location access, and get a private link that opens a map of your precise spot — with coordinates, address and elevation. Nothing is stored: the location lives only inside the link you share.

We’ll ask your browser for permission when you tap the button. Your location is used only to build the link — it’s never sent to us or stored.

Your location is only inside the link you choose to share — we never store it.

What does “share my location” do?

It turns your current position into a private link. When you tap the button, your browser asks permission and reads your precise GPS coordinates; we build a link that, when opened, shows that exact point on a map with its latitude/longitude, address and elevation. The position is encoded in the link itself — we don’t store it on any server.

How to share your location

  1. Tap Share my location and allow the browser’s location prompt.
  2. We show your precise spot on a map with coordinates and address, and create a shareable link.
  3. Copy the link or use your device’s share sheet to send it by message, email or chat. The person who opens it sees exactly where you are.

Is sharing my location private and safe?

Yes. Your precise location is requested only after you tap the button, it stays in your browser, and it is placed only inside the link you choose to send. We don’t keep logs of it and the link isn’t listed or indexed. To stop sharing, simply don’t resend the link — there’s no live tracking unless you generate and send a new link.

When is this useful?

Meeting friends at a busy park or trailhead, telling a driver or delivery exactly where to come, marking a campsite or a parking spot, sending your position to roadside assistance, or pinning a place that has no street address. For just the numbers, see what are my coordinates; to convert them, use the coordinate converter.

Frequently asked questions

How do I share my current location from my phone or computer?

Open this page, tap “Share my location”, and allow the browser prompt. You’ll get a link that shows your exact spot on a map — copy it or use the share button to send it anywhere. It works on phones and desktops with no app install.

Does sharing my location track me live?

No. The link captures your position at the moment you create it; it does not keep updating. There is no background tracking — if your location changes, generate and send a new link. See my location for a one-off check.

Is my shared location stored anywhere?

No. Your coordinates are placed inside the link itself and used only in the browser to draw the map and address. We don’t store the location on a server or keep logs of it.

What does the person who opens my link see?

They see a map centered on your shared point, the latitude and longitude in decimal and DMS, the reverse-geocoded address and the elevation — plus a button to open it in Google Maps or share their own location back.
