Let’s find your location.

Use your device, enter coordinates or choose a US city.

Device location needs your permission.

Enter coordinates

Latitude first; use a minus sign for west or south.

Search a US city or town

Choose a place, not a street address.

Find a Census ZIP area

For a delivery ZIP, use USPS with the full address.

Use this area offline

After looking up a point, save its public map files on this device. No coordinates or location history are saved. Device location may work without a connection; a new area and USGS elevation still need internet access.

You can also choose device location or enter a point.

Ground elevation United States

Choose a point first

Choosing this sends the selected coordinates to USGS. Its service may keep request records.

What Plant Hardiness Zone Am I In?Find the USDA 2023 plant hardiness classification listed for a US ZIP code. See the winter minimum temperature range and what a ZIP result cannot tell you.Bearing CalculatorCalculate initial, final and constant-course bearings between two coordinates. Compare the directions relative to true north.Horizon Distance CalculatorEnter eye height above a clear, level surface to estimate the geometric horizon. Compare line-of-sight and surface distances without atmospheric refraction.Antipode FinderFind the opposite point on Earth from a latitude and longitude. Copy its coordinates or open the point on a map.How Fast Am I Going?See device-reported speed in miles per hour and kilometers per hour, with fix time and accuracy. Missing speed stays unavailable.Share My LocationChoose a location, check its accuracy, then copy coordinates or share a map link once. No live tracking or saved location history.Track My LocationStart and stop a live view of your own device position. See coordinates, accuracy, speed and heading when your device supplies them.Coordinate ConverterConvert latitude and longitude to decimal degrees, DMS, DMM, UTM, MGRS, geohash and Plus Code. Copy each format locally.Distance from My LocationCompare two coordinates and calculate their straight-line surface distance in miles and kilometers. This is not a road route.Radius MapEnter a coordinate and radius to draw a distance circle and see its north, south, east and west points. Distances follow a spherical Earth.Midpoint CalculatorFind the geographic midpoint between two coordinates and open it on a map. A geographic midpoint is not a driving halfway point.Elevation ProfileChoose two US coordinates and request sampled USGS ground heights between them. Compare terrain in feet and meters with source resolution.Topographic MapEnter US coordinates to view the USGS topographic tile around that point. Inspect contour and terrain context, then open the official map.Time Zone ConverterConvert a date and local time between IANA time zones. Detect times skipped or repeated during daylight-saving clock changes.

Understand a location answer

Why does a website show another city?

Some websites guess from your internet connection. A VPN, mobile carrier or company network can make that guess differ from your device position. The IP-location view explains the network estimate shown when you arrive. Choose device location for a more precise point.

A county, a city and a ZIP are different answers

A city, its county and its mailing ZIP can cover different areas. If you are filling out a form, open the county result for its full name and code, or check what the ZIP area result means for mail.

Find somewhere outdoors

Use this same point to compare the nearest national park points or mapped beaches. Straight-line distances help compare locations; check an entrance before choosing a drive.

If your location looks wrong

Check whether you allowed precise location in your browser or phone settings. Indoors, a fresh position may still cover a wide area. The accuracy circle belongs to the device fix; extra decimal places do not shrink it. You can type coordinates or search a city instead. A city search uses a point inside that city, not your current position.

The coordinate page gives you decimal and degrees/minutes/seconds formats to copy into another map.

What this page cannot tell you

Street-address lookup is not connected. A ZIP area is not an official delivery ZIP. For tax, voting or jury questions, confirm the jurisdiction with the responsible government office. A network estimate cannot settle a legal jurisdiction.
