Interesting coordinates for the google earth program. Unusual places on Google maps. UTM coordinates in Google Maps
Geographic coordinates are used to identify a point on Earth. In this case, the planet is taken to be a sphere, which allows one to determine longitude, latitude and altitude. In the era of improved electronic maps, almost every one of them allows you to search for a place by entering the appropriate values. Today we would like to demonstrate the implementation of this operation using the example of a world-famous web service called Google Maps.
There are certain concepts for entering coordinates so that the service can parse the values, but we will talk about this a little later. Now I would like to draw your attention to the fact that below we will present two ways to accomplish this task - through the full version of the site and the mobile application. The principle of operation is practically no different, but you need to take into account the structure of the interface. So all you have to do is choose suitable way and follow the instructions provided.
Supported input format and coordinate conversion
Cards from Google support the introduction of coordinates following certain rules that apply to other geographical areas. If you take into account the official guide, you will notice that the developers recommend adhering to the following formats:
- 41°24’12.2″N 2°10’26.5″E- that is, alternately indicating degrees minutes and seconds with longitude and latitude;
- 41 24.2028, 2 10.4418 — degrees and decimal minutes without longitude and latitude (this is already included in the numbers);
- 41.40338, 2.17403 — decimal degrees (without defining minutes, seconds, longitude and latitude).
Sometimes such rules lead to the fact that the user, before starting to enter, has to convert the existing values into one type so that the search correctly accepts the specified coordinates. The easiest way to do this is to use online services that will automatically make calculations. Let's look at a small conversion example.
Now let's move on directly to methods of searching by coordinates on the service in question.
Method 1: Full version of the site
Default full version The Google Maps website provides more tools and functions, but the mobile app also has its advantages. If you choose this option, you should search like this:
- On home page Google go to section "Cards", opening a list of all services.
- In the search bar on the left, enter the available values and press the key Enter.
- After a point is displayed, you can explore detailed information about it.
- Nothing prevents you from plotting a route by indicating one of the points using coordinates.
- If you want to find out the coordinates of any place on the map, just right-click on it and select "What's here?".
- A small panel will be displayed at the bottom, where the coordinate numbers will be marked in gray.
As you can see, there is nothing complicated in performing a search. The main thing here is to adhere to the input rules and indicate coordinates in the same format. Next, the map will independently provide all the necessary information about the found point.
Method 2: Mobile application
Now mobile Google app Many users use the maps because it allows them to find out the transport schedule, plot any route and use GPS navigation. Of course, the built-in functionality will also solve the issue of searching by coordinates, which is done like this:
If for some reason Google service You are not satisfied with the maps or are unable to find a given point, we recommend that you try performing the same operation through maps from the Yandex company. Detailed instructions You will find more information on this topic in our other article at the following link.
Now you are familiar with two methods of finding a place using coordinate values on Google Maps. This will allow you to study the point in detail, determine its exact position relative to other objects, or set it as one of the route goals.

The anomaly near Mount Ararat is a geological formation of an unusual shape. It is located at an altitude of 4725 meters above sea level and has a length of almost 183 meters. To date, there are three main versions that explain its occurrence - it could be a geological formation, a glacier, or... the remains of Noah's Ark.
There are legends among local residents about a huge old ship on the top of a mountain near Mount Ararat. Writer Charles Berlitz in his book “The Lost Ship of Noah” cites the testimony of the Armenian George Hagopian.
Georgiy Hagopyana said that in 1905, as an 8-year-old boy, he was on Mount Ararat with his grandfather. And that they found the ark and visited inside. On the upper deck, Georgy saw a superstructure with many windows. The body of the ark was huge and hard as stone.
The American magazine New Eden in 1939 published an interview with a former pilot of the Russian tsarist army, Lieutenant Roskovitsky, who allegedly discovered an object resembling an ark back in 1916 during a reconnaissance flight. Roskovitsky reported to the tsar, and Nicholas II equipped an expedition of 150 people. It took them two weeks to reach the site. According to Roskovitsky, the ship resembled both a giant barge and a freight car, and inside there were many rooms - small and large. Moreover, the small rooms were covered with metal mesh.
But the first significant evidence of the existence of an unknown object on the top of the mountain is considered to be photographs taken by American pilots in 1949. A few years later, something resembling a ship covered with snow was seen by Turkish soldiers. The object was then photographed two more times: in 1973 by the American spy satellite Keyhole-9 and in 1976 by the reconnaissance satellite Keyhole-11. CIA workers processing satellite images in the 70s found it difficult to interpret the data obtained. Porcher Taylor, who worked for the CIA at the time, says the picture was quite unexpected. But he was unable to clarify what exactly was there, because the materials collected by Keyhole-9 and Keyhole-11 are still classified.

Chanquillo, Spanish Chankillo is an ancient monumental complex on the desert coast of Peru in the Casma oasis in the department of Ancash, Peru. Among the ruins are the hilltop Fort Chanquillo, the Thirteen Towers solar observatory, living quarters and public meeting areas. It is assumed that the Thirteen Towers Observatory was built in the 4th century. BC e. The area of the monument is 4 square meters. km. It is assumed that it was a fortified temple.
“Mandala” is the most mysterious geoglyph of the Palpa plateau, located 30 km from the more famous Nazca plateau. In addition to it, there are many geoglyphs on the plateau; it’s a pity that they cannot be clearly seen in Google Maps (and Earth). The geoglyph “Mandala” or Estrella (i.e. “star”), as the locals call it, is definitely the most amazing of them. According to scientists, it was created in the 2nd century AD. Nazca civilization. The composition of two drawings has a size of about two hundred meters and the mystery, as you may have guessed, is how in ancient times people were able to create such a geometrically correct drawing, which is entirely visible only from a bird's eye view. There is an opinion that the geoliths of the Nazca and Palpa plateaus carry information encoded in mathematical form from their creators, be they people or someone else.

Google maps: search by coordinates. So let's get started. The first thing you need to do is go to the Google maps website. To do this, go to link, or go to google.com and go to maps there by clicking on the menu icon in the upper right corner and selecting "Maps":
After going to Google maps, you can start searching for a place by coordinates. Just copy the coordinates you need and paste them into the search bar on the site. All you have to do is click on the search button:
In the example, the coordinates of the Eiffel Tower were used.
You can also simply enter the coordinates you need by hand, Google will still understand:
For example, when entering two coordinates 0 and 0 separated by commas, it showed the point that is located at the intersection of the equator and the prime meridian.
There are also a few rules worth mentioning:
1 - latitude is indicated first, and then longitude
2 - you need to separate decimal values with a period, not a comma (incorrect option: 50.56948, 29.59211. Correct option: 89.39281, 65.59684)
3 - for latitude you need to use a range of values from -90 to 90
4 - for longitude you need to use a value range from -180 to 180 degrees
Another way to search by coordinates is to simply enter them in the line Google search, after analyzing your request, the system will understand that you entered the coordinates. After which the search engine will display your point on the map before the result links:
It is also worth noting that using the Google maps service, you can not only search by coordinates, but also do the opposite, that is, use maps to find out the coordinates of a particular place. All you need to do is open Google page, go to the "Maps" application and then click anywhere on the map, you can also use the search. After which, a marker will appear on the maps, and the name of the place where the marker is located and its coordinates will be displayed at the bottom of the window.
Mapping services on the Internet are becoming increasingly popular among network users and various mobile applications. Such resources are created in order to quickly find a city, country, street, and determine the coordinates of a populated area. In this regard, global search engines, for example, Yandex and Google, are releasing online and offline applications that allow you to search by coordinates on the map. By entering latitude and longitude data into the required line, a person is able to accurately determine where the desired object is located.
How to find out and enter the coordinates of a place
The user must download a map of the desired country or region to a computer, laptop or gadget. Searching for coordinates and entering them to determine the location is carried out as follows:
- Open the search bar on the map.
- Select an option from the proposed categories - “food”, “hotels”, “transport”, “attractions”, “shop”, “ATM”, “parking”, etc.
- Select the desired query option to determine the coordinates. First, the address. Here you enter the city, street, house number. Secondly, the name of the place. Thirdly, any keyword. The search bar will suggest possible words.
- Select “coordinates” in the search bar and click “show on map”. The desired object will be reflected on the map.
- In decimal degrees – 21.40043, 2.1235.
- In degrees and decimal minutes – 41 24.2028.
- In degrees, minutes and seconds – 28°29’12.2″N 5°12’20.5″E.
- The Latin letter d is replaced by a degree symbol.
- Use dots rather than commas to separate coordinates.
- First enter the latitude and then the longitude.
- Latitude is indicated in values from -90 degrees to 90 degrees.
- Longitude is indicated in the range from -180 degrees to 180 degrees.
It often happens that you need to find the location of a particular object in another country. In this case, the user first selects the country, and then searches for the location.
Determining the coordinates of an object is very simple. Having found a place on the map, the user clicks on it and looks at the bottom of the screen. The exact coordinates of the location will be indicated there. The information received is expressed in several formats:
You need to enter the existing coordinates into online maps correctly:
If you want to enter a specific coordinate into Google Maps or Google Earth, you just need to enter it into the search engine following certain rules. This is a very practical solution if you want to send someone via chat or send via e-mail the coordinate we want you to visualize.
Nomenclature of degrees
Google Earth uses a brass-type angular coordinate system, so it must be written in the following order: "latitude, longitude."
In the case of latitudes for the northern hemisphere, it will be necessary to write it as positive, negative for the southern hemisphere. In the case of latitudes for the eastern hemisphere (from Greenwich to Asia) it will be positive, and for the west, that is, for America - negative.
In the case of Google Earth, written in the left panel, recorded and then click on search
Google Maps if , top left search engine, and then click the "search" button, as shown in the following examples.
1. Coordinates in degrees, minutes and seconds (DMS): 41°24’12.2″N 2°10’26.5″E
In this case, decimals must be in seconds and degrees must be rounded.
This means that this coordinate is 41 degrees above the equator because it is positive, and 2 degrees east of Greenwich because it is positive. A common error is the minute symbol, you should use ("), often people confuse it with an apostrophe and generate an error (").
If you have trouble finding the symbol, you can copy paste from this address 41°24"12.2"N 2°10"26.5"E and just change the data.
2. Coordinates in degrees and minutes (DMM): 41 24.2028, 2 10.4418
Degrees are rounded and minutes include decimals that will carry seconds. As you can see, in the lower part the same coordinate is reflected only in degrees.
3. Coordinates in decimal degrees without minutes or seconds (DD): 41.40338, 2.17403
In this case there are only degrees and this is the most used latitude/longitude type and as you can see it is always the coordinate in degrees, minutes and seconds that is stored in the top line.
4. UTM coordinates in Google Maps
For UTM coordinates, Google Maps does not have a feature that allows you to enter coordinates. You can do this with Excel template and drag them as shown in the following application.
Step 1: Download the data feed template. Although the article focuses on UTM coordinates, the app includes latitude and longitude templates in decimal degrees, as well as in degrees, minutes, and seconds format.
Step 2. Download the template Having selected a template with data, the system will issue a warning if there was data that could not be verified; These checks include:
- If the coordinate columns are empty
- If coordinates have non-numeric fields
- If the zones are not between 1 and 60
- If there is something other than north or south in the hemisphere of the field.
In the case of long coordinates, it is valid that latitudes do not exceed 90 degrees or that longitudes exceed 180.
The description data supports HTML content, such as that shown in the example, which includes expanding an image. The same will support things like links to routes on the Internet or on local disk computer, video or any other content.
Step 3. Show data in table and map.
Immediately the data is loaded, the table will show alphanumeric data and a map of the geographical location; As you can see, the upload process involves converting these coordinates into a geographic format, as required by Google Maps.
By dragging an icon on the map, you can preview street views or 360 views uploaded by users.
Once the icon is released, you can visualize and navigate points placed in Google Street View. When you click on the icons you can see the details.
Step 4. Get map coordinates You can add points to a blank table or one that was loaded from Excel; coordinates will be displayed based on this template, automatically numbering the label column and adding details obtained from the map.
Here you can see the template working in the video.
Upload a Kml map or table to Excel using the gTools service.
Enter the download code and you have a file that you can view in Google Earth or any GIS program; The app shows you where to get a download code that allows you to download up to 400 times, with no limit on the number of vertices in each download using the gTools API. The map also shows coordinates from Gooogle Earth, while views of three-dimensional models are activated.
In addition to kml you can also download in Excel format in UTM format, latitude/longitude in decimals, degrees/minutes/seconds and even DXF to open it with AutoCAD or Microstation.
In the following video you can see how the data and other functions of the application are loaded.
