# How to Find Latitude and Longitude

To find your latitude and longitude, use a tool that reads your device's GPS — like this one. Allow location access, and you'll get both numbers immediately, ready to copy or share.

## Step-by-step

1. Open a modern browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge).
2. Visit https://whatismylocation.ai/how-to-find-latitude-and-longitude.
3. Click the locate button on the page.
4. When your browser asks for location permission, click Allow.
5. Your coordinates, address, and map position will appear.

### If location is denied or blocked

See [Location Not Working](https://whatismylocation.ai/location-not-working) and [Enable Location Permission](https://whatismylocation.ai/enable-location-permission) for browser-specific instructions.

## Privacy

Your browser asks for permission before sharing your precise location. 
Reverse geocoding uses a server proxy that truncates your coordinates to 
approximately 100-meter precision before any logging. Your exact coordinates 
are not stored.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### What is my location?

Your location is the place where your device is currently detected using browser location permission, GPS, Wi-Fi, cellular, or network signals. This site shows it as both coordinates and a readable address.

### Can this website see my location automatically?

No. Your browser asks for permission before sharing precise location with the website. If you decline, only an approximate IP-based region is available.

### Is this free?

Yes. Every tool on this site is free and requires no account.

### Do you store my coordinates?

We don't store your precise coordinates. Reverse geocoding uses a server proxy that truncates coordinates to roughly 100-meter precision before any logging.
