Coordinates to Address
Turn any GPS coordinates into a real street address. Enter any latitude/longitude — or tap to use your current location — and get the full address, city, postal code, and country instantly.
Coordinates to Address
Enter any latitude/longitude coordinates (or tap Detect to use your current location) and get the full address, country, and place details via OpenStreetMap's Nominatim reverse geocoding API.
Reverse Geocoding — Turn Any Coordinates into a Real Address
Reverse geocoding is the opposite of what most mapping tools do. Instead of "give me coordinates for this address," you're asking "give me the address for these coordinates." This has a surprising number of practical uses: geotagging photos, verifying where a GPS device was when it logged a specific reading, checking what address a set of coordinates in a spreadsheet corresponds to, confirming field data in survey work, and identifying mystery locations from drone footage or satellite imagery.
This tool uses Nominatim, OpenStreetMap's free reverse geocoding service. It's the same data that powers the GPS coordinates tool on this site, just in reverse. The companion to this tool is our address to ZIP code tool — use both together for complete address and postal verification.
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is reverse geocoding?
Nominatim is generally accurate to street level in most urban areas globally. Rural areas may return a road or region rather than a specific building address, depending on how well the area is mapped in OpenStreetMap.
What format should coordinates be in?
Decimal degrees — the standard format for most GPS devices and apps. For example: Latitude 40.7128, Longitude -74.0060. Negative latitude = south of equator. Negative longitude = west of prime meridian.
