How do I format latitude and longitude in Google Maps?
Here are examples of formats that work:
- Degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS): 41°24’12.2″N 2°10’26.5″E.
- Degrees and decimal minutes (DMM): 41 24
Can you enter coordinates Google Maps?
Enter Coordinates on Android Open Google Maps, enter the coordinates into the Search box at the top, and hit the Search key on the keyboard. You’ll see a pin appear on the map for the spot.

How do I know my longitude?
To calculate your longitude, you therefore simply need to work out the time difference between noon at your location and noon at the Prime Meridian.
How to convert a pixel to a lat / long coordinate?
The main GMap2 class provides transformation to/from a pixel on the displayed map and a lat/long coordinate:
How to convert Lat to meter in JavaScript?
The spherical Mercator projection defines a coordinate pair in meters, for the surface of the earth. This means, for every lat/long coordinate there is a matching meter/meter coordinate. This enables you to do the conversion using the following procedure:
Which is the most common GCS for latitude and longitude?
The geographic coordinate system your latitude/longitude coordinates are using. This can vary, because there are different ways of locating lat/longs on the globe. The most common GCS, used in most web-mapping applications and for GPS’s, is WGS84.
How to calculate the zoom value of a pixel?
To factor in the “zoom” value, I recommend the simple and effective deltaLonPerDeltaX and deltaLatPerDeltaY functions below. While x-pixels and longitudes are strictly proportional, this is not the case for y-pixels and latitudes, for which the formula requires the initial latitude.
