Display UK Longitude and Latitude
coordinates
Useful when creating your Microsoft or Google Map
website 'Mashup'
or for SATNAV directions.
Find the exact location of individual buildings...
US Map version here (find Zip Code coordinates)
To find the longitude and latitude of any given
place - just click on the map below. The coordinates are displayed below
the map.
This map is
centred on the UK but the map covers the whole world!
You can either
scroll and zoom the map manually or search by postcode (or zip code) and
place name
using the search box below the map.
Enter Postcode or Place name:
The locations/coordinates - longitude and
latitude will appear above when you click on the map.
Just zoom and pan the map to your required location and 'click' to display
the coordinates.
Postcode Format
This map can be used to find the longitude and latitude of any given
postcode in the UK.
When searching for Post Codes use the format 'SW1A
1AA' i.e. use a space.
I've used the postcode for Buckingham
Palace for this example!
Zip Code

Map centered on the USA for Zip Code and
place name locator.
My Microsoft Map 'Mashup' is centered on the
UK. Use the zoom controls and drag the map to your required location -
the whole world is covered!
Bird's Eye View
Note. Displaying long/lat coordinates
doesn't work when using the Bird's eye view.
Useful Tip!
Finding
location from Long/Lat Coordinates
As well as being able to enter a place name or post code to find longitude and latitude (then zoom in for accuracy down to building level) you can also enter long/lat coordinates to find the location on the map. The map will be centered on the coordinates you entered so zooming in will show you the exact location.
Page Background
After struggling to find the required map coordinates
(longitude and latitude) in Degrees, Minutes, Seconds and Decimal Degrees
Latitude/Longitude Conversions etc. for use in website Map "Mashups" I created a
webpage that worked for me and thought others might also find it useful...
This web page now also converts UK postcodes to longitude/latitude.
Just
enter the postcode, zoom in as required and click the map to display the
coordinates.

Your website was very useful!
I don't know if you mention it but where it says put in the post code or
place you can also put in the long and lat to show you where it is! :) We
used it that way as well. It was very good!! << I've added a note above so
visitors know about this.

Found your map today - what a useful website. Just to let you
know I am using Safari 5.0.5 with no problems. Surprised that google does
not make it as easy to find latitude and longitude.

This is a really useful facility. I have just used it to work
out the coordinates of our house in order to apply to DEFRA for our CPH
(County Parish Holding) number.
Thanks very much.

Firstly, thank you for an excellent

It really is an
excellent site and a really useful service you provide - so much easier to
use than any other site I have found. Thank you, sincerely.
Best wishes.

I'm afraid that the coordinates being returned
are not correct (at least not in all cases), try this for different parts of
the world against know Locations and Lat/Long. Both Microsoft and Google use
a coordinate system that does not match Lat/Long. Good try though!

I've just
realised your outputting the coords as decimal degrees and they are correct.
Sorry! I'm old fashioned and used to degrees minutes etc.

This is a great service and I'm glad I was able to point to you
in my blog about geotagging Windows Live Photos. Thank you for creating

Thank you for this site. It's actually interesting to see
pictures of where I work that are a few years out of date - not a knock,
just a gentle hint - as we've lost a lot of facilities and it's nice to see
how it used to be. Keep it up, Des.
