Quick answer

To convert latitude and longitude into an address, enter the two numbers — latitude first — and the tool returns the nearest postal address, split into street, locality, city, district, state, PIN code and country. This process is called reverse geocoding. It is free, needs no signup, and works for India and worldwide.

What this lat long to address converter does

Every point on Earth can be written as a pair of numbers — a latitude and a longitude. Machines like those numbers; people do not. This free tool does the translation, a process called reverse geocoding: you paste in a coordinate pair such as 28.6139, 77.2090 and it returns the readable postal address at that spot, broken into street, locality, city, district, state, PIN code and country. There is no signup and no usage limit for normal use.

How to convert coordinates into an address

  1. Enter the latitude in the first box. Latitude runs from −90 (South Pole) to +90 (North Pole). Everywhere in India is positive, roughly between 8 and 37.
  2. Enter the longitude in the second box. Longitude runs from −180 to +180. India sits between about 68 and 97, all positive.
  3. Press Get Address — or tap My Location to let your browser fill in your current coordinates automatically.
  4. Copy the result. The full address appears with each component listed separately, and the copy button puts the whole thing on your clipboard.

If you only have a Google Maps link, the two numbers after the @ in the URL are the latitude and longitude in that order. Paste them here to get the postal address.

Reading a coordinate correctly

The single most common mistake is swapping the two numbers. Latitude always comes first in the widely used "lat, long" convention, and it is the smaller of the two values almost everywhere in India. Swap them and you will usually land in the ocean or in another country entirely.

New Delhi (India Gate)28.612977.2295
Patna (Gandhi Maidan)25.612785.1416
Mumbai (Gateway of India)18.922072.8347
Kolkata (Victoria Memorial)22.544888.3426

You may also see coordinates written in degrees, minutes and seconds — for example 28°36'46.4"N 77°13'46.2"E. This tool expects decimal degrees, so convert first: decimal = degrees + minutes/60 + seconds/3600, and make the number negative for South latitudes or West longitudes.

What people use it for

Delivery and logistics

Turning GPS pings from a driver app into a street address a dispatcher or a customer can actually read.

Field surveys

Survey and inspection apps record coordinates. Reverse geocoding converts them into locality and PIN code for the report.

Photo geotags

Photos carry EXIF coordinates. Paste them here to find out exactly where a picture was taken.

Property and land records

Matching a plot's mapped location to its administrative district, tehsil and PIN code.

Emergency and fleet response

Converting a shared live location into a dispatchable address without opening a full mapping suite.

Form autofill

Letting users tap once for their location instead of typing out a long address by hand.

How accurate is the result?

Reverse geocoding returns the nearest known address to the coordinate you supply, so accuracy depends on how well that area is mapped. In cities with dense address data you will usually get the exact building or a neighbouring one. In villages, new layouts, industrial belts and forested areas the nearest mapped feature may be a road or a landmark several hundred metres away.

Two practical consequences: treat the result as a strong hint rather than legal proof of an address, and always keep the raw coordinates alongside it in your records. Coordinates never go stale; address data does.

Frequently asked questions

What is reverse geocoding?

Geocoding turns an address into coordinates. Reverse geocoding does the opposite — it takes a latitude and longitude and returns the human-readable address closest to that point, usually split into street, locality, city, state, PIN code and country.

Is this lat long to address tool free?

Yes, it is free to use with no signup and no per-day cap for normal manual lookups. It is published as a free utility by Intech Global Solutions and is not intended for automated bulk querying.

Does it work outside India?

It accepts any valid coordinate worldwide. Coverage and precision are strongest across India, since the underlying OLA Maps data is India-focused. For international coordinates you will often get a usable result, but the level of detail varies by region.

Which comes first, latitude or longitude?

Latitude first. The standard written form is "latitude, longitude" — so in 28.6139, 77.2090 the latitude is 28.6139 and the longitude is 77.2090. Note that some mapping libraries internally use the opposite order, which is a frequent source of bugs.

Why did it say no address was found?

Either the coordinate falls somewhere with no mapped address nearby — open sea, dense forest, high mountains — or the two numbers were entered the wrong way round. Check that latitude is between −90 and 90 and that you have not swapped the fields.

Do you store my location?

No. Coordinates are sent to the OLA Maps reverse-geocoding service to look up the address and the result is displayed in your browser. Intech Global Solutions does not save your coordinates or the returned address.

Coordinate system and method

Coordinates are interpreted as decimal degrees on the WGS 84 datum — the same reference system used by GPS receivers, Google Maps and virtually every consumer mapping app. Values are validated before lookup:

Reverse geocoding returns the nearest known address, not a surveyed property boundary. Precision therefore depends on address density in that area — typically building-level in cities, and potentially several hundred metres out in villages, industrial belts or forest.

Sources and further reading

Address data is supplied by a third-party mapping provider and reflects their coverage at the time of the query. For anything with legal or land-record consequence, verify against official records rather than a geocoding result.
