Coordinates

Coordinates is a handy little app that helps you find geographic coordinates for towns or landmarks. Whether you’re planning a trip or just curious about a place, this tool is super useful!

What Does Coordinates Do?

This app is an easy-to-use utility for OS X users. It gives you a simple way to find the latitude and longitude of various points on the map. Built on Apple’s MapKit, it even offers 3D views to make your searches more exciting.

Finding Latitude and Longitude

If you want to know the latitude and longitude of a specific city, just type its name into the app. It will automatically take you there and show you the coordinates. How cool is that?

Selecting Points on the Map

You can also pick a spot on the map yourself if there's no searchable name available. The app displays coordinates in decimal fractions or degrees based on what format you prefer.

Importing Coordinates

If you've got latitude and longitude values from another source but aren't sure where they point to, don’t worry! You can import them into Coordinates, and it’ll zoom right in on that location.

Measuring Distances

This app also lets you measure distances between locations. Keep in mind, though, it only plots direct lines from one point to another—no roads considered! So while it’s great for quick measurements, it won’t help with travel routes.

Units of Measurement

You can display measurements in either metric or imperial units—or turn them off completely if you prefer less clutter!

A Lightweight Solution

Overall, Coordinates is a lightweight application that packs all these features into an easy-to-use package with a simple interface. If you're looking for a quick way to find latitude and longitude at various spots, give Coordinates a try!
