Turn GPS coordinates into the nearest street address.
How this tool works
The coordinates are reverse geocoded with OpenStreetMap's Nominatim, which finds the nearest addressable object in the OpenStreetMap database and returns its full address. In dense areas this is typically the actual building; in rural areas it may be the nearest named road or place. Uses your device GPS with one click (your location is processed in your browser and never stored), or you can type coordinates or click the map.
What you can do with it
- Identify the address for coordinates from photos, trackers, or incident reports
- Turn a dropped pin or GPS reading into something you can write down
- Check what is at a set of coordinates before visiting
- Click anywhere on the map to see its nearest address
Why use it
Coordinates are how devices talk, addresses are how people talk. Reverse geocoding is the bridge, and this version needs no account or app.
