Google Maps – How to Enter GPS Coordinates

To find a location in Google maps using GPS coordinates, specify the coordinates in the search field in this format:

[latitude degrees] [latitude minutes] – [longitude degrees] [longitude minutes]

Do not include the “[” or “]” characters above when you enter the search coordinates in Google Maps. Here is an example of some coordinates and how you would enter them into Google maps:

Latitude: 8 33' N
Longitude: 83 30' W

Enter this into the Google Maps search field:

8 33.000 - 83 30.000
