Click or tap anywhere on the map. A marker will appear at the selected point and the latitude and longitude will be shown in both decimal degrees and Degrees, Minutes, Seconds (DMS).
The Equator is the 0° latitude line. It divides the Earth into the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.
The Prime Meridian is the 0° longitude line. It is used as the reference for measuring longitude east and west around the Earth.
Latitude ranges from -90° to 90°. Longitude ranges from -180° to 180°. Negative latitude values represent locations south of the Equator, while negative longitude values represent locations west of the Prime Meridian.
