Google Maps to Coordinates

Runs entirely in your browser. The link you paste is never uploaded - the coordinates are read on your device.

Paste a Google Maps link and get the exact latitude and longitude out of it, in both decimal and degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS). It reads the coordinates that are already inside the URL, so there is no guessing, and it gives you copy buttons plus ready-made Google, Apple, and OpenStreetMap links. It is the quick way to turn a shared map location into numbers you can put in a spreadsheet, a form, a GPS device, or another app. Everything runs in your browser, so the link you paste is never uploaded.

How to use this tool

  1. 1Open the place in Google Maps and copy the full URL from your browser's address bar.
  2. 2Paste it into the box (coordinates like 13.7563, 100.5018 also work).
  3. 3Read the latitude and longitude in decimal and DMS.
  4. 4Use the copy buttons to grab exactly the format you need.
  5. 5Use the map links to reopen the spot in Google, Apple, or OpenStreetMap.

Example

Pull coordinates from a place link

Paste a URL like .../@13.7563,100.5018,17z and the tool shows Latitude 13.7563 and Longitude 100.5018, plus the combined pair and the DMS version, each with a copy button.

Normalise a pasted pair

Paste 13.7563, 100.5018 directly and it validates the values and gives you the DMS format and map links, without needing a full URL.

Common use cases

  • Getting the latitude and longitude to paste into a spreadsheet or database
  • Turning a shared Google Maps location into numbers for a GPS device
  • Filling in a coordinates field on a form or listing from a map link
  • Checking the exact point a Google Maps link refers to
  • Converting a map location into DMS for aviation, marine, or survey use

Common mistakes

  • Pasting a shortened link (maps.app.goo.gl) - the browser cannot expand it. Open it once and copy the full URL from the address bar instead.
  • Copying the place name instead of the URL - the coordinates live in the link, so copy the address bar, not the label.
  • Mixing up latitude and longitude - latitude comes first (north-south, -90 to 90), longitude second (east-west, -180 to 180).
  • Expecting an address - this returns coordinates; use the map links to see the place name and address.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get the full Google Maps link?

Open the location in Google Maps in a browser and copy the URL from the address bar. That URL contains the coordinates (after the @ sign or in the pin data), which is what this tool reads.

Why will my short link (maps.app.goo.gl) not work?

Short links have to be expanded by following a redirect, which a browser tool cannot do for privacy and security reasons. Open the short link once, let it redirect to the full Google Maps URL, then copy that full URL and paste it here.

What is the difference between decimal and DMS?

Decimal degrees (like 13.7563) is the format most apps and spreadsheets use. DMS (degrees, minutes, seconds, like 13 45 22.8 N) is common in aviation, marine, and survey work. The tool gives you both.

Is the link I paste uploaded anywhere?

No. The coordinates are read from the link entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, so it is safe to use with private or sensitive locations.

Can I paste coordinates instead of a link?

Yes. Paste a pair like 13.7563, 100.5018 and the tool validates it, shows the DMS format, and builds the map links, so it works both from a URL and from raw numbers.

How do I go the other way, from coordinates to a map?

Use the Coordinates to Google Maps tool, which is linked from this page. Enter a latitude and longitude and it builds Google, Apple, and OpenStreetMap links and directions.
