How accurate is the location detection?Location accuracy depends on your device's GPS capabilities and environmental factors. Typically, accuracy ranges from 3-5 meters outdoors with clear sky view, and may be less precise indoors or in urban canyons.
Why does my browser ask for location permission?Browsers require explicit user permission to access location data for privacy and security reasons. This ensures you have full control over when and how your location information is accessed.
What if location detection fails?Location detection may fail due to disabled GPS, denied permissions, or poor signal. Ensure location services are enabled in your browser settings and you're in an area with good GPS reception.
Is my location data stored or shared?No, your location data is processed entirely in your browser and is not stored on our servers or shared with third parties. All location processing happens locally on your device.
Can I use this tool offline?The location detection works offline if your device has GPS capabilities, but address resolution and map display require an internet connection to access geocoding services and map tiles.
What coordinate formats are supported?We display coordinates in decimal degrees (DD) format and degrees, minutes, seconds (DMS) format. Both formats are widely used in GPS devices, mapping applications, and navigation systems.
