Finding the coordinates
In Google Maps, press and hold a spot to see coordinates such as 40.7580, -73.9855. The first number is latitude, the second is longitude. If you are on site, press "Use my location".
Two formats
- Map link: a Google Maps address that opens on iPhone, Android and computers. Recommended.
- geo: coordinates: the standard location URI. On Android it lets people choose any installed maps app.
