So I have this WordPress plugin that places a nicely formatted map on my contact page. It requires the longitude and latitude of my business location. There are a number of WordPress plugins and other website apps that use longitude and latitude variables to function. You can find these two variables easily using Google Maps. In this tutorial I will show you how to find the longitude and latitude of a location using Google Maps.
- Open a browser and navigate to Google Maps.
- Type in your location in the top search field.
- Right mouse click the blip on the map and select 'What's here?'.
- The latitude and longitude, in that order, will popup in the search field at the top of the page.
