🧭 Coordinates & Position

343 browser-local tools · page 1 of 6

Coordinates & Position. A position is only useful once you can write it in the format you need. Each page takes one city and gives it back as decimal degrees, degrees-minutes-seconds, degrees and decimal minutes, and a nine-character GeoHash, together with how far the place sits from the equator, from the nearest pole and from the prime meridian — the last measured along its own parallel, which is the honest way, because a degree of longitude shrinks with the cosine of the latitude.

How these tools work

The distances are not a flat 111 km per degree. Meridian arcs come from Simpson integration of the exact WGS84 meridian integral and the parallel radius from the ellipsoid’s prime-vertical radius of curvature, so a kilometre on these pages is a kilometre on the ground. WGS84 is the datum GPS broadcasts and every web map displays; a coordinate quoted without its datum is incomplete, and older local surveys can shift a street corner by hundreds of metres.
