How do you get latitude and longitude on Google Maps?

Answer 1

you get a decent GPS and put in the longitude and latitude of the place you want to go to. then you go in the direction that the GPS tells you until you are right on top of the coordinates you put in.

Answer 2

Any geographic point on the Earth can be identified by its latitude and longitude. However, locations underground may not be accessible at the same point above them on the surface.
Any online map site should let you enter the latitude and longitude to see what is located there.
Latitude is always first and on the side so you would find latitude then longitude is up and down then u would put your finger on the point then follow the line until your fingers meet.
Take two fingers, place one on the latitude you want and the other on the longitude you want. Then move your fingers along the lines until they connect. Make sense?

Answer 3

You can't calculate it. You can look it up in an Atlas, find it on a map on which

lat/long are marked, read it off of on-line resources like Google Earth, or from

a GPS receiver that's at that place.

Answer 4

You can't calculate them. You can look them up in an Atlas, find them on a map

or a globe that has lat/long marked on it, read them off of internet resources like

Google Earth, or read them from a GPS receiver that's located at that place.

Similarly, there's no way to calculate how tall a person is. Either someone who

already knows has to tell you, or else you have to take a ruler and measure it.

Answer 5

Google Maps is very good at finding the place when you HAVE the latitude/longitude.

But it's not designed to go the other way.

If you want the latitude/longitude of a spot you choose on the map, then you're

way better off using Google Earth instead.

Answer 6

Many maps are overprinted with a latitude-longitude grid; it's helpful to use such a map. Most aeronautical maps and marine navigation maps have such a grid pre-printed. Simply find a longitude line (the north-south lines) and go up or down to find your latitude; then follow one of the east-west latitude lines to locate your longitude.

alternatively, Google Earth can display a map or satellite photos of any location based on lat/long.

Answer 7

Most places have a Wikipedia page. The coordinates are listed at the top right.

Answer 8

You have to either look it up in an atlas or on a map, or else go there

with a GPS receiver and read it off of the instrument.

Answer 9

latitude and longitude can make an almost exact spot of a part of the world.

Answer 10

you must have the coordinates first, then look for them on a map
