HOW IT WORKS With just a button located at the top right of the Google Maps website (below your Google account image), you can manually or automatically copy and paste the GPS coordinates of any selected place in DD format (decimal degrees), in DD format (decimal degrees) and in DMS format (degrees, minutes & seconds), with its latitude and longitude, respectively. You will also see its Google's plus code and its MGRS (Military Grid Reference System).

For example, if you select Barcelona on Google Maps and then click on our magic button, you will see its coordinates in this different formats:

  • DD (decimal degrees): 41.382894, 2.177432.
  • DM (degrees and decimal minutes): 41°22.9736'N 2°10.6459'N.
  • DMS (degrees, minutes & seconds): 41°22'58.4"N 2°10'38.8"E.
  • Plus Code: 8FH495MG+5X.
  • MGRS (Military Grid Reference System): 31TDF3122281589.

Remember this Firefox's utility is used to show the coordinates of any area, township, commerce, point of interest (POI / POI) or even a place anywhere in the world selected directly on the map. Even if there is no exact information, you will get its exact GPS position ;)

If nothing is selected, the information displayed will be the position of the center of the screen.

Really like the simplicity of this add-on, however the current behavior of Google Maps does not center a place marker on the screen so the coordinates are inaccurate when a specific place is selected but the marker is not precisely centered manually.

It breaks certain websites, for example try (with and without module) this : https://www.backmarket.fr/fr-fr/search?q=dell ; many elements of the page disappear when activating the module (menu bars, left panel, sorting menu, etc.)
