How Do I Find Coordinates on Google Maps?

Everyone has a place in the world that is special to them. That’s why our coordinate bracelets are our bestseller! We have tried to make ordering yours as easy as pie with the coordinate finder tool at the checkout when you choose one of our Fernweh Coordinates Bracelets, but if you want to DIY it here’s how!

On your Phone:

1.     Open the Google Maps app on your iPhone or Android phone. 

2.    Enter the location you are looking for, then select and hold to drop a pin on the map of the location you want the coordinates for. 

3.    Scroll down to find the coordinates, which will be a series of numbers in brackets.

4.    Tap the coordinates to copy to your phone's clipboard. 

On desktop:

1.  Head to https://www.google.com/maps.

2.    Enter the location you are looking for into the search bar.

3.    Right click on the red balloon (the location pin) to access the menu.

4.     Click "What's Here?"

5.    A new box will appear and your chosen location's coordinates will appear in this box.

6.    Click on the coordinates. 

7.     A new box will appear on the left with the coordinates you've selected, which you can then copy and paste.

So, now you know how to find the coordinates of your special place! Don’t forget, it’s not just our custom coordinate bracelets that you can add the coordinates of your special place too. We also have coordinate necklaces and coordinate cufflinks, plus we can add them as a hidden message to many of our other designs. Where is your place in the world?
