Why convert coordinates to a Google Maps link?

Google Maps accepts decimal coordinates in its URL. When you have a coordinate from a GPS device, a spreadsheet, or a field survey, the fastest way to open it on a map is to generate a direct link. No manual searching, no risk of typing the address wrong.

A standard Google Maps coordinate link looks like: https://www.google.com/maps?q=48.8584,2.2945

GPSwitch generates this link from any input format — decimal degrees, DMS, UTM, MGRS, or a Plus Code. Paste once, get the Google Maps link plus 26 other formats.

Common use cases

Frequently Asked Questions

What coordinate format does Google Maps accept?

Google Maps accepts decimal degrees in the format LAT,LNG — for example 48.8584,2.2945. It does not directly accept DMS or UTM. GPSwitch converts any format to decimal before generating the link.

Can I generate a Google Maps navigation link, not just a pin?

Yes. GPSwitch generates both a pin link (https://www.google.com/maps?q=LAT,LNG) and a navigation link (https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1&destination=LAT,LNG). Both appear in the results panel.

Does this work with coordinates from a Garmin or other GPS device?

Yes. GPSwitch recognises Garmin output (DMS or DDM format), converts to decimal, and generates the Google Maps link automatically.
