General: Based on your ip address of 13.59.2.242 and some help from Geolocation by geoPlugin, we have centered the map at Columbus, Ohio in United States. It will work anywhere on the planet. Zoom the map out to see the world or your neck of the woods. This GPS Mapping tool is used by fishermen, hunters, outfitters, law enforcement, government agencies, real estate agents, news outlets, geocachers, hikers, mountain bikers and more.
Map Controls: Switch between Map (street map), Satellite, Hybrid, Topographic Maps (Topo) and USGS Aerial Images map modes by using the buttons on the upper right of the map. Move the map by clicking and dragging the map or by using the directional buttons on the left hand side of the map. Zoom the map by clicking and dragging the slider or clicking "+" and "-" on the left side of the map. When you click anywhere on the map the map will recenter itself and put a marker on the point that you clicked. This makes it easier to zoom the map and increase the accuracy of your coordinates. As you zoom in you can click and get the map marker closer to the spot until it is right on within a few feet. Once you have zeroed in on your desired location, you can also view Microsoft Bing Aerial and Birdseye views to get more info on your spot. There is also a WX info link which links to the current weather conditions, doppler radar and weather forecasts at map center.
Geocoding: To get lat/long coordinates for a specific location drag and zoom the map to the desired location then click the map in the location you want coordinates for. The map will re-center to the clicked location, a map pointer will appear and the lat/long coordinates will appear just above the map. Note: The more you zoom in the more accurate the coordinates will be. The map can be zoomed in to an accuracy of within a few feet in hybrid or satellite view!
To get latitude longitude coordinates for a known street address you can use our geocoding page.
