Understanding Map Coordinate Picker

Coordinate systems, order and units

Click an interactive map to identify and copy latitude and longitude coordinates.

Map Coordinate Picker depends on knowing how coordinates are expressed. Geographic coordinates commonly use WGS84 longitude and latitude, while projected systems use linear units and a defined datum and projection.

How to verify the coordinates

Coordinate results depend on the correct source CRS, target CRS, and axis order. Verify those assumptions and spot-check known coordinates before replacing source data.

To verify Map Coordinate Picker, spot-check a known place, confirm axis order and verify the expected unit and CRS. A numerically valid coordinate can still be geographically wrong when those assumptions are incorrect.
