- In the left panel, enter the coordinates in the search box using one of the following formats: decimal degrees like 37.7° and -122.2°.
- The coordinates will be displayed in the bottom right corner as Google Earth expands the view of the location.
The east and west boundaries of the map show the values of latitude and longitude. They can also be indicated as fractions of degrees rather than whole degrees, depending on the scale of the map.

- Find a location by entering the coordinates.
- Here are some examples of approved formats:
- Decimal degrees (DD): 41.40338 and 2.17403.
- Degrees, minutes, and seconds (DMS): The GPS location is 41°24’12.2"N 2°10’26.5"E.
- Minutes and decimal degrees (DMM): The numbers are 41 24.2028 and 2 10.4418.
- Coordinates are displayed in decimal format. For example, the coordinates of the Colosseum are N 41° 53′ 24” E 12° 29′ 32”. To provide more precise directions, decimal seconds using the DMS notation are sometimes used. An example is 41°53’24.8280 and 12°29’32.:0136.
