What Are GPS Coordinates?
GPS coordinates describe a precise position on Earth using latitude and longitude. Latitude measures how far north or south a point is from the equator. Longitude measures how far east or west it is from the prime meridian.
Decimal coordinates are usually written as two numbers, for example 40.7128, -74.0060. The first number is latitude and the second number is longitude.
Common Uses for GPS Coordinates
GPS coordinates are useful when a normal address is not enough or when you need to share an exact map point.
- Share an exact meeting point
- Mark a trail, campsite or outdoor location
- Copy coordinates into another map app
- Find the position of a landmark or building
- Record a geographic reference for research
- Check latitude and longitude for travel planning
