Interesting coordinates for the google earth program. Unusual places on Google maps. UTM coordinates in Google Maps
Geographic coordinates are used to determine a point on Earth. In this case, the planet is taken as a kind of ball, which allows you to determine the longitude, latitude and height. In the age of improving 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 how to perform this operation on the example of a world-famous web service called Google Maps.
There are certain concepts of entering coordinates so that the service can parse the values, but we will talk about this a bit later. Now I would like to draw your attention to the fact that two ways of accomplishing the task will be presented below - through the full version of the site and the mobile application. The principle of operation is practically the same, however, it is required to take into account the structure of the interface. Therefore, you just have to choose the appropriate method and follow the instructions.
Supported input format and coordinate conversion
Maps from Google supports the entry of coordinates according to certain rules that apply to other geographic directions. If you take into account the official guidelines, you will notice that the developers recommend adhering to the following formats:
- 41°24’12.2″N 2°10’26.5″E- that is, alternate indication of 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 has to convert the existing values into one type before starting to enter, so that the search correctly perceives 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 go directly to the 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 features, but the mobile app has its own 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.
- Once a point is displayed, you can view detailed information about it.
- Nothing prevents you from also laying a route by specifying one of the points using coordinates.
- If you need to know the coordinates of any place on the map, just right-click on it and select "What's in here?".
- A small panel will appear at the bottom, where the coordinate numbers will be marked in gray.
As you can see, there is nothing difficult in performing a search. The main thing here is to follow the input rules and specify the coordinates in the same format. Further, the map will independently provide all the necessary information about the found point.
Method 2: Mobile application
Now mobile Google app Maps are used by many users, as it allows you to find out the schedule of traffic, get any route and use GPS navigation. Of course, the built-in functionality will solve the issue with the search by coordinates, which is done like this:
If for any reason Google service The map does not suit you or he cannot find the specified point, we recommend that you try the same operation through the maps from Yandex. Detailed Instructions on this topic you will find in our other article at the following link.
Now you are familiar with two methods of finding a place from 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 targets.

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 can be a geological formation, a glacier, or ... the remains of Noah's Ark.
There are legends among the locals about a huge old ship on top of a mountain near Mount Ararat. The writer Charles Berlitz in his book "The Lost Ship of Noah" cites the testimony of the Armenian Georgy Khagopyan.
George Khagopyan 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 went inside. On the upper deck, George saw a superstructure with many windows. The hull of the ark was huge and hard as stone.
In the American magazine New Eden in 1939, an interview was published with a former pilot of the tsarist army of Russia, 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. In two weeks they got to the object. According to Roskovitsky, the ship resembled a giant barge and a freight car at the same time, and inside there were many rooms - small and large. Moreover, the small rooms were covered with a metal mesh.
But the first significant evidence of the existence of an unknown object on top of the mountain is considered to be pictures taken by American pilots in 1949. A few years later, something resembling a ship covered with snow was seen by Turkish doctors. Then the object was photographed two more times: in 1973 it was made 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. Porcher Taylor, who at the time worked for the CIA, says that the picture was very unexpected. But he could not 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 Kasma oasis in the Ancash department, Peru. Among the ruins are the hilltop fort of Chanquillo, the Thirteen Towers solar observatory, living quarters and public gathering spaces. It is assumed that the Thirteen Towers observatory was built in the 4th century BC. 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 is a pity that in Google Maps (and Earth) they should not be properly seen. 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. the 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 can only be seen in its entirety from a bird's eye view. It is believed that the geolyphs of the Nazca and Palpa plateaus carry information encoded in mathematical form from their creators, whether they are 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 there go to maps by clicking on the menu icon in the upper right corner and selecting "Maps":
After switching 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 just manually enter the coordinates you need, Google will still understand:
For example, when entering two coordinates 0 and 0 separated by commas, he showed a point that is located at the intersection of the equator and the prime meridian.
There are also a few rules to be mentioned:
1 - latitude is indicated first, and then longitude
2 - you need to separate decimal values with a dot, not a comma (wrong 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 the range of values from -180 to 180 degrees
Another way to search by coordinates is to simply enter them into a string Google search, after parsing your request, the system will understand that you entered the coordinates. After that, the search engine, before the results links, will display your point on the map:
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 it takes is to open Google page, go to the "Maps" application and already there click anywhere on the map, you can also use the search. After that, 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 more and more popular among web users and various mobile applications. Such resources are created in order to quickly find a city, country, street, determine the coordinates of a settlement. In this regard, global search engines, such as Yandex and Google, are releasing online and offline applications that allow you to search by coordinates on a map. By entering data on latitude and longitude in the desired line, a person gets the opportunity to determine exactly 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. The search for coordinates and entering them to determine the location is carried out as follows:
- Open the search bar on the map.
- Choose 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 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, click "reflect on map". The desired object will be displayed 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 the degree sign.
- Use dots instead of 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 specified in the range from -180 degrees to 180 degrees.
It often happens that you need to find the location of an object in another country. In this case, the user first selects a country, and then searches for a place.
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 place will be indicated there. The received information is expressed in several formats:
You need to enter the available coordinates into the online maps correctly:
If you want to enter a certain coordinate in Google Maps or Google Earth, you only need to enter it into the search engine, following certain rules. This is a very practical way out if you want to send someone via chat or send via e-mail the coordinate we want you to render.
Nomenclature of degrees
Google Earth uses a brass-type angular coordinate system, so it must be written in the order latitude, longitude.
In the case of latitudes for the northern hemisphere, it will be necessary to write it 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, it will be 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, the decimals must be in seconds and the 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 mistake is the minute symbol, you should use ("), often people confuse it with an apostrophe and generate an error (").
If you're having trouble finding a character, you can copy paste from that 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 be carried over by 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, always the top line stores the coordinate in degrees, minutes, and seconds.
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 it 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 has latitude and longitude templates in decimal degrees, as well as degrees, minutes, and seconds format.
Step 2. Download the template By selecting 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 in the hemisphere of the field there is something other than north or south.
In the case of long coordinates, it is true that latitudes do not exceed 90 degrees or that longitudes exceed 180.
Description data supports HTML content such as shown in the example, which includes image expansion. The same will support things like links to routes on the web or to local disk computer, video or any other content.
Step 3. Show the data in the table and on the map.
Immediately the data is loaded, the table will show the alphanumeric data and the geographic location map; As you can see, the loading process involves converting these coordinates to geographic format, as required by Google Maps.
By dragging the icon on the map, you can preview the street views or 360 views uploaded by users.
Once the icon is released, you can visualize the waypoints placed in Google Street View and navigate through them. By clicking on the icons, you can see the details.
Step 4. Get Map Coordinates, You can add points to an empty table or one loaded from Excel; the coordinates will be displayed based on this template, automatically numbering the label column and adding the details obtained from the map.
Here you can see the template in action in the video.
Upload a Kml map or spreadsheet to Excel using the gTools service.
Enter the upload code, after which you have a file that you can view in Google Earth or any GIS program; The application shows where you can get the download code, with which you can download up to 400 times, without limiting the number of vertices in each download using the gTools API. The map also shows the coordinates from Google Earth, while the 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 features of the application are loaded.
