Use Latitude and Longitude Converter

Let’s know how to use Latitude and Longitude Converter

Latitude and Longitude Converter

Enter the latitude and longitude in decimal degrees:

To convert latitude and longitude to an address, you can use various online tools or programming libraries. One commonly used method involves utilizing geocoding services provided by platforms like Google Maps.

If you’re looking to convert coordinates programmatically, you can use the Google Maps Geocoding API. Here’s a simplified example using Python with the requests library please Python code for you.

import requests

def get_address_from_coordinates(latitude, longitude, api_key):
base_url = “https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json”
params = {
‘latlng’: f'{latitude},{longitude}’,
‘key’: api_key,
}

response = requests.get(base_url, params=params)
data = response.json()

if data['status'] == 'OK':
    return data['results'][0]['formatted_address']
else:
    return "Error: Unable to retrieve address"

Replace ‘YOUR_API_KEY’ with your actual Google Maps API key

api_key = ‘YOUR_API_KEY’
latitude = 37.7749
longitude = -122.4194

address = get_address_from_coordinates(latitude, longitude, api_key)
print(“Address:”, address)

Important note: Make sure to replace “YOUR_API_KEY” with your actual Google Maps API key. Keep in mind that using geocoding services may be subject to usage limits and terms of service

Let’s Convert latitude and longitude to Decimal degrees

Converting latitude and longitude from degrees, minutes, and seconds “DMS” to decimal degrees requires converting each component to its decimal equivalent.

See the formula below:

Decimal Degrees = Degrees + (Minutes/60) + (Seconds/3600)

For example, if you have coordinates 37° 30′ 15″ N latitude and 122° 15′ 30″ W longitude, the conversion is below:

Latitude in Decimal Degrees = 37 + (30/60) + (15/3600)

Longitude in Decimal Degrees = −122 − (15/60) − (30/3600)

After performing the calculations, you will get the coordinates in decimal degrees format.
