Getting GPS coordinates the easy way…

 

Just go to:

http://www.mapseasy.com/adress-to-gps-coordinates.php

Once there, just enter the address for which you need coordinates for and click the "submit" button.

The results are returned in two formats:
Latitude and Longitude (Decimal) and Latitude and Longitude (ddd.mm.ss)

N = Latitude
W = Longitude

Just remember when entering the longitude coordinates (W) into your GPS (the entry beginning with a minus sign), if the longitude doesn't start with three numbers, you have to use a zero at the beginning, to be able to enter the longitude, into your GPS.

For example a longitude of:-43.2553230 would have to be entered -043.2553230 (by adding the zero at the beginning of a two digit longitude.

While at the site, on the right-hand side you can also choose to convert GPS coordinates, to a street address:
