One converter for every GPS format

GPSwitch is a universal coordinate converter. Unlike tools that handle one conversion at a time, GPSwitch converts your input to all 27 supported formats simultaneously. Paste once and see everything: decimal degrees, DMS, UTM, MGRS, Geohash, Plus Code, GeoURI, NMEA, what3words, and direct navigation links for Google Maps, Waze, Apple Maps, HERE, Bing, OsmAnd and more.

All 27 formats supported

Accepted input formats

GPSwitch auto-detects the input format. You can paste:

Why GPSwitch instead of dedicated converters?

Specialist converters do one thing: DMS to decimal, or UTM to lat/long. GPSwitch does all of them in one step. For anyone who works with multiple coordinate systems — GIS professionals, surveyors, pilots, field teams, developers — this saves time every day.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most common GPS format?

Decimal degrees (latitude, longitude) is the most common format for modern apps, APIs and databases. DMS is standard for nautical and aviation charts. UTM is preferred in GIS and surveying. GPSwitch converts between all of them.

Does GPSwitch work offline?

The core coordinate conversion (decimal, DMS, UTM, MGRS, Geohash) works offline once the page is loaded. Features requiring internet access (reverse geocoding, what3words, address search) require an active connection.

Can I link directly to a specific coordinate in GPSwitch?

Yes. Add a ?ll=LAT,LNG parameter to the GPSwitch URL to pre-populate the converter. Example: https://gpswitch.app/?ll=48.8584,2.2945 opens with the Eiffel Tower coordinates already converted.
