You can search for a location using its latitude and longitude coordinates, as well as get the coordinates of a location you've already found on Google Maps.
Search for a location using coordinates
If you already know a location's coordinates and want to find it on the map, simply enter the coordinates in the Google Maps search box. To create the degree symbol, press Option-0 (Mac) or ALT+248 (Windows).
Example: try a search using these coordinates: +38° 34' 24.00", -109° 32' 57.00" (for a location in Moab, Utah, United States)
Get the coordinates of a location
If you want to get the coordinates of a location you see on Google Maps, just right-click the location then select What's here?. The coordinates will appear in the search box. Learn more about coordinates in Google Maps.
