Finding latitude and longitude on a map?
On the page quick definition coordinates on the map - find out the latitude and longitude of the city. Online search streets and houses by address, by GPS, to determine the coordinates on the Yandex map, how to find the location is described in more detail below.
Determining the geographical coordinates of any city in the world (find out the latitude and longitude) by online map from the Yandex service is actually a very simple process. you have two convenient options Let's take a closer look at each of them.
Fill out the form: Rostov-on-Don Pushkinskaya 10 (with the help of and if you have a house number, the search will be more accurate). On the right in the upper corner there is a form for determining the coordinates, which contains 3 exact parameters - the coordinates of the mark, the center of the map and the zoom scale.
After activating the "Find" search, each field will contain the necessary data - longitude and latitude. We look at the "Center of the map" field.
Second option: In this case, even easier. An interactive world map with coordinates contains a marker. By default, it stands in the center of the city of Moscow. It is necessary to drag the label and put it on the desired city, for example, we determine the coordinates on . The latitude and longitude will automatically match the search object. We look at the field "Label coordinates".
When searching desired city or countries, use navigation and zoom tools. Zooming in and out +/- , while also moving the interactive map, easy to find any country, search the region on the world map. So you can find geographic center Ukraine or Russia. In the country of Ukraine, this is the village of Dobrovelichkovka, which is located on the Dobraya River, Kirovohrad Region.

Latitude +48° 38′ 4.89″ N (48.3848)
At the entrance to the urban-type settlement there is a sign informing about this interesting fact. Considering its territory is likely to be uninteresting. There are far more interesting places in the world.
How to find a place on the map by coordinates?
Consider the reverse process, for example. Why do you need to determine the latitude and longitude on the map? Suppose you need to determine by GPS coordinates navigator the exact location of the car on the diagram. Or close friend will call on a day off and report the coordinates of his location, inviting you to join the hunt or fishing.
Knowing the exact geographical coordinates, you will need a map with latitude and longitude. It is enough to enter your data into the search form from the Yandex service in order to successfully determine the location by coordinates. Example, we enter the latitude and longitude of Moskovskaya street 66 in the city of Saratov - 51.5339,46.0368. The service will quickly determine and show the location of this house in the city as a marker.
In addition to the above, you can easily determine the coordinates on the map of any metro station in the city. After the name of the city, write the name of the station. And we observe where the label and its coordinates with latitude and longitude will be located. To determine the length of the route, it is necessary to use the "Ruler" tool (measurement of distances on the map). We put a mark at the beginning of the route and then at the end point. The service will automatically determine the distance in meters and show the track itself on the map.
It is possible to more accurately examine a place on the map thanks to the Sputnik scheme ( upper corner on right). See what it looks like. You can do all of the above with it.
World map with longitude and latitude
Imagine you are in an unfamiliar area, and there are no objects or landmarks nearby. And there is no one to ask! How could you explain your exact location so that you can be found quickly?
Thanks to concepts such as latitude and longitude, you can be discovered and found. Latitude shows the location of an object in relation to the South and North Poles. The equator is considered to be zero latitude. South Pole located at 90 degrees. south latitude, and North at 90 degrees north latitude.
These data are not enough. It is also necessary to know the situation with respect to East and West. This is where the longitude coordinate comes in handy.

Cartographic data of cities in Russia, Ukraine and the world
There are many various systems coordinates, All of them serve to determine the position of points on earth's surface. This includes mainly geographic coordinates, flat rectangular and polar coordinates. In general, it is customary to call coordinates angular and linear quantities that define points on a surface or in space.
Geographic coordinates are angular values- latitude and longitude, defining the position of a point on the globe. The geographical latitude is the angle formed by a plane equator and plumb line at a given point on the earth's surface. This angle value shows how far a particular point on the globe is north or south of the equator.
If the point is located in the Northern Hemisphere, then its geographical latitude will be called northern, and if in southern hemisphere - south latitude. The latitude of points located on the equator is zero degrees, and at the poles (North and South) - 90 degrees.
Geographic longitude is also an angle, but formed by the plane of the meridian, taken as the initial (zero), and the plane of the meridian passing through given point. For the sake of uniformity of the definition, we agreed prime meridian count the meridian passing through astronomical observatory in Greenwich (near London) and call it Greenwich.
All points located to the east from it will have eastern longitude (up to the meridian of 180 degrees), and to the west of the initial one - western longitude. The figure below shows how to determine the position of point A on the earth's surface if its geographical coordinates (latitude and longitude) are known.
Note that the difference in longitudes of two points on Earth shows not only their mutual arrangement in relation to the zero meridian, but also the difference in these points at the same moment. The fact is that every 15 degrees (24th part of the circle) in longitude is equal to one hour of time. Based on this, it is possible to determine the difference in time at these two points by geographical longitude.
For example.
Moscow has a longitude of 37°37′ (East), and Khabarovsk -135°05′, that is, lies to the east of 97°28′. What time do these cities have at the same moment? Simple calculations show that if it is 13:00 in Moscow, then it is 19:30 in Khabarovsk.
The figure below shows the design of the sheet frame of any map. As can be seen from the figure, in the corners of this map, the longitude of the meridians and the latitude of the parallels that form the frame of the sheet of this map are signed.
On all sides, the frame has scales divided into minutes. For both latitude and longitude. Moreover, each minute is divided by dots into 6 equal sections, which correspond to 10 seconds of longitude or latitude.
Thus, in order to determine the latitude of any point M on the map, it is necessary to draw a line through this point parallel to the lower or upper frame of the map, and read the corresponding degrees, minutes, seconds on the latitude scale to the right or left. In our example, point M has a latitude of 45°31’30”.
Similarly, drawing a vertical line through the point M parallel to the lateral (closest to this point) meridian of the border of this sheet of the map, we read the longitude (east) equal to 43 ° 31'18 ".
Drawing a point on a topographic map according to given geographical coordinates.
Drawing a point on the map according to the given geographical coordinates is carried out in the reverse order. First, the indicated geographical coordinates are found on the scales, and then a parallel and perpendicular to the line. Intersecting them on will show the point with the given geographic coordinates.
Based on the book "The map and the compass are my friends."

Sometimes you may need to accurately calculate the geographical coordinates of your location or some object, but you don’t have anything with you except a map. Learning how to determine latitude and longitude on a map is not difficult, you just need to get a clear understanding of what a coordinate system is and how to work with it.
The coordinate system is a kind of geographical "registration" that any point on the planet has. To determine the latitude and longitude of the desired object on the map, a grid of meridians and parallels applied over the canvas of any image of the area helps. Let's see how it can be used to find a geographic location.
What is a coordinate system
A system that reads the coordinates of any point, people came up with a long time ago. This system consists of parallels representing latitude and meridians representing longitude.
Since it was difficult to determine latitude and longitude by eye, a grid of longitudinal and transverse arcs, indicated by numbers, began to be applied over all types of geographical images.
What does latitude mean
The number responsible for the latitude of a place on the map indicates its distance relative to the equator - the farther the point is from it and closer to the pole, the more its digital value increases.
- On the flat images, as well as globes, spherical lines drawn horizontally and parallel to the equator - parallels - are responsible for the latitude.
- At the equator, there is a zero parallel, towards the poles, the value in numbers increases.
- Parallel arcs are indicated in degrees, minutes, seconds, as angular measurements.
- From the equator towards north pole the value will have positive values from 0º to 90º, denoted by the symbols "N", that is, "Northern latitude".
- And from the equator towards the south - negative, from 0º to -90º, denoted by the symbols "south", that is, "southern latitude".
- The values 90º and -90º are at the peak of the poles.
- Latitudes close to the equator are called "low", and those close to the poles are called "high".
To determine the location relative to the equator of the required object, you just need to correlate its point with the nearest parallel, and then see what number is opposite it to the left and right behind the map field.
- If the point is located between the lines, you must first determine the nearest parallel.
- If it is north of the desired point, then the coordinate of the point will be smaller, so from the nearest horizontal arc, you need to subtract the difference in degrees to the object.
- If the nearest parallel is lower than the desired point, then the difference in degrees is added to its value, since the desired point will have a larger value.
Since it is sometimes difficult to determine the latitude and longitude on the map at a glance, they use a ruler with a pencil or a compass.
Remember! All points of the globe, and accordingly - on a map or globe, located along one parallel arc, will have the same value in degrees.
What does longitude mean
Meridians are responsible for longitude - vertical spherical arcs converging at the poles into one point, dividing Earth into 2 hemispheres - western or eastern, which we are used to seeing on the map in the form of two circles.
- Meridians similarly make it easy to determine the exact latitude and longitude of any point on earth, since the place where they intersect with each of the parallels is easily indicated by a digital mark.
- The value of vertical arcs is also measured in angular degrees, minutes, seconds, ranging from 0º to 180º.
- Starting from 1884, it was decided to take the Greenwich meridian as a zero mark.
- All values of coordinates in the direction of the west from Greenwich are denoted by the symbol "west longitude", that is, "west longitude".
- All values in the direction east of Greenwich are indicated by the symbol "E", that is, "East longitude".
- All points located along the same arc of the meridian will have the same designation in degrees.
Remember! To calculate the value of longitude, you need to correlate the location of the desired object with the digital designation of the nearest meridian, which is placed outside the image fields above and below.
How to find the coordinates of the desired point
The question often arises of how to determine the latitude and longitude on the map, if desired point, remote from the grid of coordinates, is inside the square.
The calculation of coordinates is also difficult when the image of the area has a huge scale, but there is no more detailed one with you.
- Here you can’t do without special calculations - you need a ruler with a pencil or a compass.
- First, the nearest parallel and meridian are determined.
- Their digital designation is fixed, then the step.
- Further, from each of the arcs, the distance is measured in millimeters, then converted to kilometers using a scale.
- All this corresponds to the step of the parallels, as well as the step of the meridians plotted on a certain scale.
- There are images with different steps - 15º, 10º, and there are less than 4º, it directly depends on the scale.
- Having learned the distance between the nearest arcs, also the value in degrees, you need to calculate the difference by how many degrees the given point deviates from the coordinate grid.
- Parallel - if the object is in the northern hemisphere, then we add the resulting difference to the smaller figure, subtract from the larger one, for the southern hemisphere this rule works similarly, only we carry out calculations, as with positive numbers, but the final digit will be negative.
- Meridian - position given point in the east or western hemisphere does not affect the calculations, we add our calculations to the smaller value of the parallel, subtract from the larger one.
It is also easy to calculate the geographic location with a compass - to get the value of the parallel, you need to put its ends on the point of the desired object and the nearest horizontal arc, and then transfer the spreader of the compass to the scale of the existing map. And to find out the value of the meridian, repeat all this with the nearest vertical arc.
To obtain an extract from the USRN, find your object at the address or by the cadastral number:

How to find out the coordinates cadastral plot? This is easy to do if you know his number. Each registered property has this unique code. To determine the coordinates by the cadastral number, a map is used. You must enter the code in a special field to open a list of real estate data.
Except exact coordinates, by the cadastral number you can find out the address of the site, its purpose, and much more. In other words, one can get full information. Why is this happening? The fact is that the cadastral number is an individual parameter of the property. That is, certain numerical value assigned only to him. It does not repeat for other objects. This means that it will be possible to find only the section corresponding to the specified number.
The coordinates of the site by cadastral number are determined quickly if you apply the cadastral map online. It stores data that is completely true. All sites are placed in exact order, all boundaries are respected. In other words, the real area is displayed with all real estate objects, but presented to scale. To find out the coordinates of the cadastral plot, you need to order an extract from the USRN.
How to order an extract from the USRN
Select an object on the ground near the road, such as a windmill. Look for its symbol on the map. Then set the map correctly along the way. Attach a ruler (or pencil) to the symbol of a windmill and move around this center until the direction of the ruler (or pencil) coincides with the direction of the actual windmill. Then the place where the ruler crosses the image of the road on the map will show where you are (Fig. 16).

How to walk with a map and compass
A map and compass will help you find right direction to any point, even if you had to go even through dense forest, in the darkness of the night, in fog or a snowstorm, when the area is completely hidden from view.
Most convenient way movement in closed areas is movement in azimuth.
Azimuth is the angle calculated in degrees between the direction of the magnetic needle to the north and the direction that leads to the desired point.
The round bottom of the compass has 360 divisions (degrees). There is zero against the letter C, and the degrees are counted from left to right in a clockwise direction. Thus, the direction to the east will make an angle of 90 ° with the direction of the magnetic needle, and the direction to the west will make an angle of 270 °. Therefore, if you know the azimuth value, then it is easy for you to determine in which direction you need to move from the starting point. Remember azimuths for different parties horizon:
0° - north
45° - northeast
90° - east
135° - southeast
225° - southwest
270° - west
315° - northwest.
And the angle of 360° coincides with zero and again points to the north.
How to determine the azimuth
On the ground. A bearing on the ground can only be determined if the destination is visible from the starting point.
Rice. 17. Determining the azimuth to various local objects: to a tree azimuth 70 °, to the house - azimuth 330 °.
Get in front of your destination. Notice some local object there, such as a detached tree or a farm. Take a compass in your hand and move the letter C under the magnetized end of the arrow. Then put a match on the glass cover of the compass so that one end of it passes through the center, and the other is directed at the selected object. Now look through the glass at the bottom of the compass and read the number below. outer end matches. This figure will show you the azimuth value (Fig. 17).
On the map. Azimuth can also be determined on the map. To do this, put a compass on the side edge of the card, give the card the correct position, that is, turn it so that the side edge of the card coincides with the direction of the magnetic compass needle to the north. In this case, the top edge of the map should be above the letter C on the compass. Then find on the map starting point, that is, the one with which you will begin your journey through this area. Connect this point with a straight line symbol Togo local subject to which you must come. After that, move the compass so that its center lies on the starting point. Do not violate the position of the card. Now the line you drew on the map will be against some number on the compass. This figure will show the desired angle (azimuth).
