GPS Coordinates of Major Cities

Browse the latitude and longitude of major world cities. Click any city to see its GPS coordinates in five formats — Decimal Degrees, Degrees·Minutes·Seconds (DMS), UTM, MGRS, and Plus Code.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are latitude and longitude?
Latitude measures north-south position from -90° (south pole) to 90° (north pole). Longitude measures east-west position from -180° to 180°, with 0° at the Greenwich Prime Meridian.
What is the difference between Decimal Degrees and DMS?
Decimal Degrees expresses coordinates as decimal numbers (e.g., 37.5665, 126.978). DMS (Degrees·Minutes·Seconds) uses a base-60 format like 37°33′59″N. Both refer to the exact same location — different notation only.
What is UTM?
Universal Transverse Mercator divides Earth into 60 longitudinal zones and expresses position in meters within each zone. Common in surveying and GIS where distance and area calculations matter.
What is MGRS?
Military Grid Reference System is a geocoordinate standard used by NATO. Built on UTM with letter pairs identifying 100 km grid squares, then digits for finer precision. Compact and unambiguous.
What is a Plus Code?
Plus Code (Open Location Code) is a Google-developed open standard. A 10-character code identifies a 13.9 m × 13.9 m square anywhere on Earth. Useful where street addresses are missing.
How accurate are GPS coordinates?
6 decimal places in Decimal Degrees gives roughly 11 cm precision at the equator. 4 decimals is about 11 m — enough to find a building. Smartphone GPS typically reaches 3-5 m accuracy.
