Coordinates Converter Tool
Convert between GPS coordinates, addresses, and latitude/longitude formats
Understanding GPS Coordinates Conversion
Converting between different coordinate formats and addresses is essential for many applications including mapping, surveying, and location-based services. Our free online coordinates converter makes these conversions simple.
Common Coordinate Conversion Needs
- Address to lat long API - Developers often need to programmatically convert addresses to GPS coordinates for mapping applications
- Legal property descriptions - Converting metes and bounds or other legal descriptions to GPS coordinates for modern mapping
- GPS coordinates converter - Switching between decimal degrees, DMS, and UTM formats for different applications
- Reverse geocoding - Finding the nearest address for a given set of latitude/longitude coordinates
Coordinate Formats Explained
Decimal Degrees (DD)
Example: 37.422°N, 122.084°W
Most common format for digital systems and APIs
DMS
Example: 37°25'19.2"N 122°05'02.4"W
Traditional format used in surveying and navigation
UTM
Example: 10S 585630 4141763
Projected coordinate system useful for large-scale maps
