Enter coordinates and instantly get the full address using OLA Maps API
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.
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.
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.
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.
| Place | Latitude | Longitude |
|---|---|---|
| New Delhi (India Gate) | 28.6129 | 77.2295 |
| Patna (Gandhi Maidan) | 25.6127 | 85.1416 |
| Mumbai (Gateway of India) | 18.9220 | 72.8347 |
| Kolkata (Victoria Memorial) | 22.5448 | 88.3426 |
| Bengaluru (Vidhana Soudha) | 12.9794 | 77.5912 |
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.

Survey and inspection apps record coordinates. Reverse geocoding converts them into locality and PIN code for the report.
Photos carry EXIF coordinates. Paste them here to find out exactly where a picture was taken.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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:
−90 and +90; longitude between −180 and +180decimal = degrees + minutes÷60 + seconds÷3600, negative for South and WestReverse 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.
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.
