Latitude and Longitude Map

Paste coordinates, one per line, in whatever format you have. Each becomes a numbered pin, with the place name under it and the leg distance to the next.

How to use it

  1. Paste coordinates one per line. Decimal degrees, DMS, DDM and Google Maps links can be mixed.
  2. Press Plot. Numbered pins appear, joined in order, and the table lists each leg's straight-line distance and the total.
  3. Press Name the points to reverse geocode each pin; names arrive about one per second.
  4. Share the page link (the points are in it) or download CSV, GeoJSON or KML.

How it works

Parsing and plotting happen in the browser. Leg distances are great-circle (haversine) distances on a sphere of radius 6,371 km, in miles and kilometres, and the line drawn between pins is the great circle, so long legs curve on the flat map. Lines that fail to parse are listed so nothing disappears silently.

Place names are optional and come from Nominatim (OpenStreetMap), which allows one request per second, so a list of 60 points takes about a minute to name. The tool accepts up to 500 points; names are fetched only when you ask.

Questions

Can I paste a column from Excel?
Yes. Copy a two-column selection of latitude and longitude; each row arrives as "lat<tab>lng", which the parser reads. A single column of "lat, lng" text works too.
Is the distance a driving distance?
No, it is the straight-line distance over the Earth's surface. For road distance use the distance between two places tool, which also routes by road.
How do I get the map into Google Earth?
Download the KML. It contains each pin with its number and name and the connecting line.
