What Is My Location?

Find My Location
How it works
This tool uses your browser's navigator.geolocation API to get your current GPS coordinates. The coordinates are then reverse-geocoded using OpenStreetMap Nominatim to determine your city and country. The map is rendered via OpenStreetMap's embed API. Your location data is not stored or sent to any server other than the geocoding service.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does browser geolocation work?
The Geolocation API uses multiple sources: GPS (on mobile devices), Wi-Fi positioning (matching nearby Wi-Fi networks to a location database), cell tower triangulation, and IP-based estimation. It combines these for the best accuracy available.
Is browser geolocation accurate?
Accuracy varies widely. GPS-enabled devices can be accurate to within a few meters. Wi-Fi positioning is typically accurate to 20-50 meters in urban areas. IP-based geolocation is only accurate to the city level. The tool shows the accuracy radius reported by your browser.
Can websites track my location without permission?
No. The Geolocation API requires explicit user permission. You'll see a browser prompt asking to share your location. You can deny this or revoke permission later in browser settings. Without permission, sites can only estimate location from your IP address.
Why is my location showing wrong?
Common reasons: your VPN is masking your real location, your device's location services are disabled, you're using IP-only geolocation (city-level accuracy), or your Wi-Fi positioning data is outdated. Ensure location services are enabled in your device settings.
What is the difference between GPS and IP geolocation?
GPS uses satellite signals for precise positioning (meters of accuracy). IP geolocation maps your internet IP address to a location database — it's only accurate to the city level and shows where your internet connection originates, which may differ from where you physically are.
