Get the coordinates of a place On your computer, open Google Maps. Right-click the place or area on the map. This will open a pop-up window. You can find your latitude and longitude in decimal format at the top.

Look for numbers along the edges of the map giving coordinates for each line. These numbers are called “graticules.” Latitude graticules are marked along the east and west edges of the map. Longitude graticules are marked on the north and south edges.
