It is your responsibility to confirm the correctness of the converted values. Do not use these values without checking them against other reliable means, e.g. examining a map that uses the output format and visually confirming the location is as expected. See also the disclaimer.
Clicking the links below will display the above location using the selected service provider.
This application interprets the text you enter in the Location
text field and displays a converted version of the interpreted
location according to the options you have selected from the Display
location format and Location ordering and separator
option lists. The latter option is only shown if relevant to the selected
location format.
Many common formats are recognised. To try a simple example, enter
numeric only values, separated by a comma, e.g. 51.3,-2.3 for
N51.3° W2.3°.
By experimenting with the different Display location
format options, you will see some of the formats that are also
accepted as input.
The degree symbol (°), single and double quotes and variants of
these can be used to represent degrees, minutes and seconds. You can use
the lower-case letter 'd' to represent degrees. Upper-case N, S,
W & E can be used to indicate North, South, West and East. A
negative value denotes South for latitude and West for longitude.
Generally, latitude is expected to precede longitude. The exception
is where the value is specifically formatted as the
proj.4 ⧉ format. Where
longitude preceeds latitude, a lower-case letter 'd', single quote and
double quote are used to represent degrees, minutes and seconds.
E.g. 2d17'40.2"E 48d51'29.7"N.
Examples:
To confirm correct interpretation of the input text, it is advisable
to select the Display location format option that you
believe matches your input text format and confirm that the output
value exactly matches that input location text.
This option generates an Open Location Code also known as a Plus Code. See the Open Location Code ⧉ article for more information about Open Location Codes ⧉ and visit the Plus Code demonstration site ⧉ to try them out.

This application is implemented using the JavaScript environment which runs entirely within your browser. None of the values you enter as locations are transmitted elsewhere nor stored by this application. It is something I developed for my own use and am simply happy to share it for public use. I hope you find it useful too.
The application generates links providing a convenient way to display maps using some external map service providers. When you click on those links, the currently interpreted location will be included in the URL passed to those sites.

Open Location Code is a library to generate short codes, called "plus codes", that can be used as digital addresses where street addresses don't exist.
A JavaScript library to transform coordinates from one coordinate system to another, including datum transformations.
