    In this case the latitude is 51.455558, and the longitude is -2.605047. The reverse is possible by entering the lat and long into the search bar, with a space between them.

  3. Address geocoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_geocoding

    In 2006, Reverse Geocoding and reverse APN lookup were introduced to geocoding platforms. This involved geocoding a numerical point location – with a longitude and latitude – to a textual, readable address.

  4. Reverse geocoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_geocoding

    Reverse geocoding is the process of converting a location as described by geographic coordinates (latitude, longitude) to a human-readable address or place name.

  5. Geographic coordinate conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geographic_coordinate...

    In geodesy, conversion among different geographic coordinate systems is made necessary by the different geographic coordinate systems in use across the world and over time. Coordinate conversion is composed of a number of different types of conversion: format change of geographic coordinates, conversion of coordinate systems, or transformation to different geodetic datums. Geographic ...

    The company has a website, apps for iOS and Android, and an API for bidirectional conversion between What3words addresses and latitudelongitude coordinates.

  7. Geotagging - Wikipedia

    For instance, someone can find images taken near a given location by entering latitude and longitude coordinates into a suitable image search engine. Geotagging-enabled information services can also potentially be used to find location-based news, websites, or other resources. [1]

    EPSG:4326 - WGS 84 datum ensemble for 2D (latitude, longitude) coordinates with 2 meter accuracy, used by the Global Positioning System among others. EPSG:3857 - Web Mercator projection of WGS 84, used for display by many web-based mapping tools, including Google Maps and OpenStreetMap.

  9. Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth-centered,_Earth...

    The reverse conversion is harder: given X-Y-Z can immediately get longitude, but no closed formula for latitude and height exists. See " Geodetic system." Using Bowring's formula in 1976 Survey Review the first iteration gives latitude correct within 10 -11 degree as long as the point is within 10,000 meters above or 5,000 meters below the ...
