How it works
This tool sends the latitude and longitude you enter to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim reverse-geocoding service, which looks for the nearest known address point in its map data and returns it.
A note on accuracy
Reverse geocoding returns the closest match available in the underlying map data, not necessarily an exact building. In densely mapped cities this is usually precise; in rural or remote areas it may point to the nearest named place instead.
Need coordinates instead?
If you're starting from an address rather than coordinates, use Address to Coordinates instead.
Frequently asked questions
What coordinate format should I use?
Enter decimal degrees, such as latitude 25.2722 and longitude 55.3053. Latitude must be between -90 and 90, and longitude between -180 and 180.
Which service looks up the address?
This tool sends your coordinates to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim reverse-geocoding service, which returns the nearest matching address in its map data.
Why is the result sometimes approximate?
In areas with sparse map data, such as rural or remote locations, the nearest known address point may be some distance from the exact coordinates you entered.
