# Latitude and Longitude Coordinates

### Get the coordinates of a place

1. On your computer, open [Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps). 
2. 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.
3. To copy the coordinates automatically, left-click on the latitude and longitude.

### Format your coordinates

To format your coordinates so they work in Google Maps, use decimal degrees in the following format:

* **Correct**: **Latitude – 41.40338, Longitude – 2.17403**
* **Incorrect**: Latitude – 41,40338, Longitude – 2,17403

***

**Tips**:

* List your latitude coordinates before longitude coordinates.
* Replace the comma with a dot in the format.
* Check that the first number in your latitude coordinate is between -90 and 90.
* Check that the first number in your longitude coordinate is between -180 and 180.
