Key distinctions behind the tool.

Why do I need to allow location?

Browsers require permission before sharing GPS or network-based position with a page.

How accurate are the coordinates?

Accuracy depends on your device. The note shows an accuracy estimate in meters when provided.

Can I copy the coordinates?

Yes. After a successful locate, use Copy coords.

Where does Open maps go?

It opens a map centered on your coordinates in a new tab.

Are coordinates stored on a server?

No. The page reads them in your browser only.
