 Hey guys welcome back to my YouTube channel. This is Daniel Rosal here a quick video today on how to find the geo coordinates of a Location using Google Maps now this is very useful to know how to do because Google Maps is a Pro proprietary mapping system by Google and if you find a place you want to explore But you want to use some different navigation to like Garmin for instance Then it's good to know exactly where that location is. Let's just take a random random place There's a little garden here just outside the old city in Jerusalem called Hatsan Hanim Garden, okay? So here's how to do it. You want to right-click on Google Maps? I'm using the web interface now You can see when I've done that the first thing that comes up is a geo coordinate 31 decimal seven eight one six one is latitude 35 point and that's a positive latitude latitude can be positive for north or negative for a safe and Longitude is positive for east of Greenwich or negative of negative for west of Greenwich, all right It's positive 31 and it's positive 35 decimal two two seven five six now watch what happens if I click on this geo coordinate So I get a little thing here saying copied to the clipboard now if I just pop open a notepad I'm going to paste and you can see what I got what I pasted and compare that with what I get when I do this So I get one two three four five decimal places one two three four five decimal places and here I'm getting one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen Fourteen fifteen so it's giving me fifteen decimal places versus only five So basically if you copy that to whether it's the browser bar or a clipboard you're going to get an extremely Exact geo coordinate now. This is the dd system, which is degrees of latitude Longitude is expressed as basically one number, but another way of denoting geo coordinates is DMS DD stands for decimal degrees and DMS stands for degrees minutes and seconds and the way that's donated is with degrees using the degree symbol minutes of longitude or latitude using a single quotation mark and seconds using Using a double quotation mark. So you can use a formula or you can just want to use one of these handy converters so I'm just going to paste in the latitude value here latitude and I'm going to paste in the Longitude value here paste in the longitude going to click guess whoops get address. So that's going to get the That's going to get this and then you have the DMS Value there as well. Now you can also work backwards from an address to that Or you can just use this converter. So that's basically everything you need to know This is world geodetic system 84 WGS 84 how to get geo coordinates from Google Maps
