Enter a latitude and longitude below to find the nearest readable address, with a map. This tool sends your coordinates to our server, which looks them up with a free reverse-geocoding service — not directly from your browser.
We do not log or store the coordinates you look up.
This tool sends your input directly from your browser to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim geocoder, via our server (needed to identify requests correctly to their service).

How This Tool Works
This is the reverse of our Address to Coordinates tool: instead of turning a place name into coordinates, it turns coordinates back into a readable address. The lookup is powered by OpenStreetMap’s Nominatim service. Because Nominatim requires requests to identify themselves (a policy meant to prevent anonymous abuse of its free service), the coordinates you enter are sent through our server rather than fetched directly from your browser — we don’t log or store what you search for.
Latitude must be between −90 and 90, and longitude between −180 and 180 — the tool validates this before sending the request.
FAQ
Where do I find coordinates to look up?
Most map apps (including Google Maps) show latitude/longitude when you long-press or right-click a point. GPS devices, geotagged photos, and our own My GPS Location tool also give you coordinates you can paste here.
Is the address always exact?
It’s the nearest address OpenStreetMap’s data has for that point, which is usually very accurate in well-mapped cities but can be approximate in rural or sparsely-mapped areas.
Do you store the coordinates I look up?
No. We don’t log or store the coordinates you search for — they pass through our server only to reach the geocoding service and are not saved.
