Build the geo content of a point on the map

Event organisers and local businesses use it when an exact location should be shared through QR instead of copied by hand.

Build the geo content of a point on the map. You get practical output without creating an account or sending your input elsewhere.

How to use

Enter the latitude on the first line, using a period as the decimal separator.
Put the longitude on the next line, taking care not to reverse the two coordinates.
Add an optional label to give the shared point a readable name.
Compose the geographic string to get content ready for encoding in a QR code.
Copy the output, then clear the area if you need to prepare another point.

Example

Using a sample latitude, longitude and label, the tool builds a geographic string. In the result, check that the coordinates keep the correct order and that the label is attached to the right point before turning the content into a QR code.

Input

48.8584
2.2945
Eiffel Tower

Limits and formats

The tool does not draw a map or verify that the coordinates match a real address.
Reversed latitude and longitude send people to a completely different place, so review both numbers.
The label is optional and mainly helps people understand what the point represents.
Map applications may display the same coordinates differently depending on the device and region.

Where processing happens

The geographic string is assembled inside your browser. The latitude, longitude and label stay on your device while the content is prepared.

Frequently asked questions

Which coordinate should I enter first?

Latitude comes first, followed by longitude. That order is common in geographic data, but it is easy to swap by mistake. Check the resulting point in a maps application before sharing the QR, especially for a meeting place.

Can I use degrees, minutes and seconds?

The form asks for latitude and longitude, usually as decimal degrees. If your source uses another format, convert it to decimal degrees first. A misplaced decimal point can move the location far from where you intended.

Does the label affect the location itself?

No, the label is optional text that accompanies the coordinates. The actual position comes from the latitude and longitude values. Use a clear name to help users recognise the place, but focus your checks on the numbers.
