HOW TO: Find Out Latitude & Longitude of a Location in Google Maps

Sometimes, especially in rural areas, your property listing will not show up in the proper location on Google Maps. You can fix this by setting your own latitude and longitude coordinates for the location.

If you do not know the exact latitude and longitude of your listing, you can find it on Google Maps.

Here is how:

  1. Go to http://maps.google.com
  2. Enter an address or location, and press enter. This will bring you to the approximate location.
  3. Right click the Map in the EXACT location that you would like to know the coordinates of.
  4. An options box will appear, select “What’s Here” from the drop down menu.
  5. The latitude and longitude of the location will appear on the map.
  6. You can copy/paste these into your property listing.

Optional – Click the coordinates for more information about the area, or for both versions of the coordinates.
