 Welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rossell here for today's video. I'm going to be showing you guys how you can Find geo coordinates from a particular point on Google Maps And I'm also going to show you the flip side of that process How if you have the geo coordinates for a particular place on planet earth, whether that's in your city Your country or just somewhere totally random. You can actually find where that is on Google Maps And if there is Google Street view available, you can actually use that to kind of see What that point looks like at the last time that Google sent its imaging Van around to check out the neighborhood So I mentioned on a few videos a project I've kind of set for myself for this winter gonna be one of my first more serious video projects is producing a little documentary Regarding this border that used to run in Jerusalem for between 1948 and 1967 It was called the calve ironie, which means the municipal line It was never intended as a permanent border before someone points it out in the comments But it did end up serving as a de facto international border for 19 years between Israel and Jordan now what I want to do for this video I'm gonna go to different points in the city today where the border once stood and I'm gonna just you know Take some videos there and I'm also hoping to speak to some older people in Jerusalem who were alive When that was a you know, hardcore border and there was landmines and fortifications and soldiers and all the other stuff That goes along with an international border now Rather than just kind of go randomly wandering around Jerusalem with Google Maps open on my phone I thought it'd be a bit more strategic about it and I prepared this custom Google map In which I basically looked at where the green line goes and I've just mapped off a bunch of different places Probably way more than I need where the green line Intersects with a street or a public park or you know some of that isn't just kind of someone's private property That might be suitable for photography. So Let me show you how you can go from this to that this being at custom points You found on a Google map like this place on Naomi Street and one of the deficits of Google I mean Google Maps I think is amazing at tool. Likewise Google my maps is very useful, but none of them are like the full package So to the best of my knowledge, I don't know of a way to get Google Street view in Google my maps So that's where this comes in really really handy So if we just take this point that I found where the green line Intersected the street called Naomi Street and I want to see in Google Maps Hey, so what's actually let me take a closer look at what's here. So what I can do is click on the Point I've placed on my Google map and now you can see I have the geo coordinates. So these are gonna kind of Push my eyesight to its limits 31 decimal seven six Two nine six thirty five decimal two two five. Sorry two two eight six nine, right? So what I'm gonna do now is copy this geo coordinate onto my Notepad which I'll just bring in presently and now that I have them on my notepad I can just pop those into Google Maps, and there's a couple more things that I can do and I'm gonna try show these in this video now It's important to note that there are a couple of ways of denoting What are what are abbreviated for short as geo core geo? Coords and full geographical coordinates one is using Minutes and hours minutes and seconds I think sorry degrees minutes and seconds of Longitude and latitude and the other way is using decimal Degrees so the way Google map does it is decimal degrees or DD in other words 33 points something something something But you can convert back and forth using one of these tools. So for instance, I'm just gonna take these Now the good thing about the DD system for geo coordinates is that Because it's two integers one for latitude one for longitude You don't need to know whether it's nor south east or west if it's north the latitude is positive if it's south of the equator It's going to be negative latitude if it's to the East of Greenwich, it's going to be a positive figure for longitude and if it's to the west of Greenwich, it's going to be Excuse me negative value for longitude so traditionally the DMS system degrees minutes and seconds relies upon Prefixing prefixing latitude you have to prefix latitude and longitude with north south east west So I think this is it's a little bit of more of an elegant system But whatever way you have geo coordinates accessible to you You're able to convert using a very simple two like this so you don't need to bother with that mathematics So you can see I plugged in at the point of this location on the omie Street the 31 point 76 And I've it's converted into DMS at notation 31 degrees of latitude to the north of the equator 45 minutes of latitude and 46 decimal six five six seconds of Latitude and then the longitude is 35 degrees east 13 minutes east and 43 point two eight four You can see those numbers don't even look alike in fact I'm just gonna have to put myself down here as you guys can see the output So it's a you can you can convert it yourself Using a formula, but it's just a lot easier to do it using a two like this And if you're if you think well those two numbers don't look the same you can see it's in the right city anyway And it is actually the same Same same point. So what we're gonna do now is go into Google Maps now the way you can do this I've kind of already given it away here because it's in my search history, but nevertheless I can just type Copying this off the clipboard, and I'm just putting the DD notation for latitude and longitude into the search bar Just as if I was searching for a particular place And I can either hit the enter key or click on that and it's going to jump me straight to that point now Something cool is that it's done it firstly It does this conversion Google Maps has done the conversion into DMS format as you can see And the second nice thing is that it is it has equated it to a Location according to the street so you can see it's putting that as 21 23 to 21 Naomi Street Jerusalem now something you can do is once you've got that in Google. I'm just gonna hit the search key again And it's gonna put down a little red marker. So that's exactly and you can see I got I was I'm on the within Probably 50 centimeters. I'm actually on the green line at this point So that's how you can take a particular place on earth and put it into Google Maps, and I'm not sure if you feed Google Maps a DMS format Geo coordinates if it's going to be able to parse it and it is actually so you can also put a Degrees minutes and seconds Geo coordinate in this notation Into the search bar in Google Maps, and it's going to bring that out to you Now you can choose to share this position And it's going to give you a direct link to that Geo Coordinates of you send this link to someone or if you send this link to your phone and go on Google Maps You'll be able to navigate Directly to that Geo coordinates, right? There's also a send to phone button for making that process a little bit more streamlined Now you can you can also label this point if you want to keep your own for example I might create a Google Maps list called green line points and I can add this to that To that group by clicking on add a label And if you know there's something specific at that point that isn't on Google Maps You can then click on add a missing place and it will prompt you to add a missing place to Google It won't be automatically included. There is kind of a revision process So that's how to go from Geo coordinate to a place on Google Maps now How do you go from a place on Google Maps to Geo coordinates? So let's take the green line projects again as a kind of handy example And this is a green line boundary, right? So I can say this might be an interesting place to record my video. So let's Let's get the Geo cord for this position now. You can see it's really simple I just right-click to that point on the map and it's given me thirty one point seven six three eight four So what you can do is click on that Geo coordinate and it's already copied it to To the clipboard then you can run it through the converter again, or you can simply copy it to the clipboard put it into the search and Then it's going to put down its red marker again and you can see here It's already Google Maps has already converted that from DD system of geographical notation Geo coordinate notation To the DMS system of a geographical notation and it'll give us a Address as well in this case. It didn't have a specific house address So between those two at tools There's really really an awful lot of functionality that you can take advantage of if you are trying to find places on Google Maps to Go hiking or something and you want to put those into your garment or something once you are able to extract your coordinates and Input your coordinates is a whole lot more Value that you can make out of this mapping tool.
