Why extract GPS from a Google Maps link?

When someone shares a Google Maps link, the coordinates are embedded in the URL — but not always visible or in a useful format. Extracting them lets you use the location in a GPS device, convert to UTM or DMS for GIS work, or open the same point in Waze or Apple Maps.

Step-by-step: how to get a Google Maps URL

  1. Open Google Maps and right-click on any location
  2. Select "Copy coordinates" — or copy the URL from your browser address bar
  3. Paste either the coordinates or the full URL into GPSwitch

GPSwitch accepts both raw coordinates and full URLs — it detects the input type automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can GPSwitch handle shortened Google Maps links (goo.gl)?

Yes. GPSwitch resolves goo.gl shortened links before parsing. Paste the short URL and GPSwitch follows the redirect to extract the coordinates.

What if the Google Maps URL does not show coordinates?

Some Google Maps place links embed coordinates in the path as @LAT,LNG,zoom. GPSwitch extracts them from the path. If no coordinates are visible, GPSwitch uses the place name to geocode and return coordinates.

Can I convert the Google Maps coordinates to Apple Maps or Waze?

Yes. Once GPSwitch extracts the coordinates from the Google Maps URL, it generates direct links for Apple Maps, Waze, HERE, Bing Maps and more — all displayed in the same results panel.
