How location detection works
When you click "Find My Location," your browser uses the Geolocation API to determine your position. Depending on your device, this may draw on GPS, Wi-Fi network positioning, cellular tower data, or a combination of these — the browser picks whatever signals are available and reports back coordinates along with an estimated accuracy radius, shown next to your result once located.
To turn those coordinates into a readable address, your latitude and longitude are sent to OpenStreetMap's Nominatim reverse-geocoding service. That request happens directly from your browser; LocateMeTools does not see or store it.
Accuracy varies
There's no fixed accuracy figure we can promise — a phone with GPS outdoors will typically be more precise than a laptop relying on Wi-Fi positioning indoors. Always check the accuracy value shown with your result rather than assuming a specific radius.
If location access is denied or unavailable
You can allow or deny the permission prompt each time, and you can change your decision later in your browser or device settings. If access is denied, unavailable, or times out, the tool shows a clear message instead of failing silently.
