What is My Location - Where Am I?

What Is My Current Location? Check It with the "My Location" Tool

Whenever you need to answer "where am I right now?" — meeting someone in an unfamiliar place, filling in a coordinates field, or just checking what websites can infer about you — this page gives you two answers: your exact GPS position (with your permission) and the city-level location your IP address reveals to every site you visit.

How Does It Work?

The GPS location comes from your browser's built-in Geolocation API. When you click "Get My Location" and grant permission, your device determines its position using GPS, Wi-Fi networks, and cell towers, and reports latitude, longitude, and an accuracy radius. That happens entirely in your browser — the coordinates are never sent to our server, stored, or shared, and they disappear when you leave the page.

The IP location loads automatically and needs no permission. It cross-references your public IP address against geolocation databases that map IP ranges to regions. It's typically accurate to the city, but can be off — especially on mobile networks, VPNs, or corporate connections — which is why the two results sometimes disagree.

GPS vs. IP Location — Why Are They Different?

• GPS location is measured by your device, usually accurate to a few metres outdoors. It requires your explicit permission.
• IP location is an estimate based on who your IP block is registered to, usually accurate to the city or region. Every website you visit can see this without asking.

If your IP location looks wrong, it isn't a bug — it shows where your network provider routes your traffic from. A VPN moves it to the VPN server's city; check with our VPN Checker.

How to Find Your Current Location

1. Click Get My Location above.
2. When the browser asks, choose Allow. On phones, make sure device location services are switched on.
3. Read your latitude, longitude, and accuracy, see the pin on the map, and copy the coordinates with one click.

If you decline (or your device blocks it), nothing breaks — the IP-based section still shows your approximate location.

Privacy

Your GPS coordinates are processed only in your browser and never leave your device through this page. The IP-based lookup uses the same address every website already sees when you connect. We don't store either.
