Google map object coordinates. How to enter coordinates in Yandex Navigator? Features and rules. Functions of a modern navigator

Good day!

Almost all of us have found ourselves in a situation where we are wandering in an unfamiliar part of the city and trying to find the right address. Now, of course, technology has stepped forward and an ordinary smartphone allows you to navigate the area perfectly...

However, not everywhere and not everything is depicted on Google and Yandex maps. Not long ago I was in a new part of my city, and, as it turned out, some streets in this area were simply not shown on the map. How can you tell another person where you are and how to find you?

Actually, this short note is dedicated to coordinates and searching for a specific point on the map using map services from Yandex and Google. So...

How to determine your coordinates and how to find an address using coordinates

I'll start with Google maps, official website :

To accurately determine your coordinates, click on the “Location Determination” button; usually a small window immediately pops up in the browser asking whether to allow access (select “I allow”).

Important! By the way, in some cases different services may show you in “different places”. Therefore, double-check your coordinates using 2 maps at once.

If the street is long and there are no house numbers (or Google maps do not indicate houses in this area at all) - then left-click on the point next to the one identified by Google - a small tab should pop up at the bottom, in which your coordinates!

Coordinates represent consists of two numbers. For example, in the screenshot below these are: 54.989192 and 73.319559

Knowing these numbers, you can transmit your location to anyone (even if he does not use Google maps, which is very convenient).

To find the desired point in Google by coordinates, simply open maps and enter these two numbers in the search bar (top left): after 1-2 seconds. A red flag will light up on the maps indicating the desired point.

Please note:

1. coordinates must be indicated using a dot, not a comma (correct: 54.989192 73.319559; incorrect: 54.989192 and 73.319559);
2. indicate the coordinates in the order in which the map gives them to you: i.e. first latitude, then longitude (if you break the order, you will get a completely wrong point, perhaps even 1000 km further than the one you are looking for...);
3. coordinates can be specified in degrees and minutes (example: 51°54" 73°31").

Yandex maps

By and large, the principle of operation with Yandex maps is similar. It is worth noting that if the address is not determined for one service, try using another. Sometimes, if a street or area is not drawn in Google maps, then in Yandex, on the contrary, it is displayed quite fully, all the streets are signed, and you can easily find your way where to go and what to do.

Yandex Maps also has special ones. a tool that allows you to find out your location online (click on the arrow in the white circle on the right, see screenshot below).

To determine the coordinates - just click on the desired point on the map - a small window will pop up with addresses and two numbers - this is what they are.

You can insert both a specific address and coordinates into the search line (don’t forget that they need to be specified correctly: do not confuse the sequence, specify through a dot, not a comma!).

Addition!

I have another article of a similar nature on my blog - about determining distances between cities, choosing the optimal road and estimating travel time. It will be useful to anyone who is planning to travel to another city, I recommend:

Additions are welcome...

ENCOUNTER games often use (guess) GPS coordinates. Due to many questions and inconsistencies, various options for spelling and use, this article was written.

Coordinate format

Different software (navigators, 2GIS, etc.) use different coordinate formats.

Here are the current formats:

• 55.755831°, 37.617673° —- degrees (decimal)
• N55.755831°, E37.617673E° —- degrees + additional. letters (decimal)
• 55°45.35"N, 37°37.06"E —- degrees and minutes (+ additional letters)
• 55°45"20.9916"N, 37°37"3.6228"E — degrees, minutes and seconds (+ additional letters)

Additional letters indicate latitude (N-north, S-south) and longitude (W-west, E-east). If there are no letters, then negative latitudes and longitudes (southern and western, respectively) are indicated in decimal format with a “-” sign. If necessary, the formats can be recalculated independently: 1° = 60" minutes, 1" minute = 60" seconds.

In order to determine the coordinates of a place, you need to select the “get information” tool:

And then point the left mouse button at the location of interest. A cloud with information about it will open at the selected location, and the coordinates of this location will be available on the left side of the screen in 2 known formats:

In order to determine a place using given coordinates, you need to enter them into the search field at the top and click “find”.

Peculiarities:

1) If the coordinate format is decimal (first comes LATITUDE (for example, 57.632811), then separated by commas - LONGITUDE (for example, 39.89041)). In the coordinate itself, you only need to put a POINT. Write the coordinates themselves separated by COMMA. Those. in the example above you need to be: 57.632811, 39.89041

2) If the coordinate format contains degrees, minutes and seconds (the latitude also comes first, then the longitude). The format is as follows: 57°37′58.39″, 39°53′22.97″

3) In response to searching for coordinates, Yandex Maps puts a blue beacon in place. Previously, there was also a green beacon that displayed the exact position on the ground. The blue beacon is attracted to the nearest location on the map. In conditions of poor detail, the error of the blue beacon relative to the real state of things can range from several meters to several kilometers. The authors are strongly recommended to test the hidden coordinates for instructions from the blue beacon.

The Kosmosnimki service works by analogy with Yandex Maps, but the coordinate beacon there more accurately indicates the required location. The detail in the countryside is quite low, but for the city it is quite tolerable.

Features of working with Google Maps (https://maps.google.com/)

Google Maps is perhaps the most convenient service for determining location by coordinates.

The coordinate format is no different from that with Yandex Maps. Accepts both decimal and degrees with minutes and seconds.

The fundamental difference: when you enter coordinates in the search bar, 2 beacons are created. The purpose of the red beacon is unclear. The green arrow shows the exact location at the specified coordinate. Moreover, the error of the red beacon in conditions of low detail of the map area can be tens of kilometers.

Explanatory screenshot:

In order to find out the coordinates of a place in Google Maps, you need to click on this place with the left mouse button and select “What is here?” in the context menu. The search bar will contain the current coordinates of the required point, and the point itself on the map will be marked with a green marker.

Features of working with 2GIS (http://yaroslavl.2gis.ru/)

2GIS is most convenient for working with coordinates only in urban environments. There is only one coordinate format - degrees, minutes, seconds. Example: 57° 37" 59.34", 39° 53" 37.67".

There is no normal search by coordinates in 2GIS yet, but you can still determine them or find a place by coordinates.

So, in order to determine the coordinates of a place on the map you need to:

1) Right-click on the location of interest on the map

4) The window will increase and you will see the “Coordinates” tab, you need to open it

5) In front of you are the coordinates of your point.

Screenshot for example:

In order to find a place using these coordinates in 2GIS you need to:

1) Poke anywhere on the map with the left mouse button.

2) Select "Create point (note)" in the context menu

3) In the window that opens, check the “advanced settings” box

4) In the window with coordinates that opens, change the coordinate numbers to the desired ones.

6) In the left menu in the drop-down list at the top, select “additional layers”

7) Select the created note so that it appears on the map.

Navigation software (CityGID, Navitel and others)

Most navigation software supports searching in various coordinate formats.

For CityGuide(using the example of version 7) the search by coordinates occurs according to the following scheme:

1) Menu -> Search -> Coordinates.

2) The following window will open:

3) Click on buttons 1 or 2, respectively. Enter the coordinates. In the lower right corner there is a small reminder about possible input formats. It is most convenient to enter and use the decimal coordinate format. The letters (N, E, W, S) are not required.

4) After entering the coordinates, the hidden point will open in the map window. Here you can evaluate how far to go and whether the task was solved correctly.

5) Press the "Let's go" button and the navigator will take you to the point in accordance with the loaded map.

For Navitel Navigator

Most coordinate formats are also supported. The coordinate format is set in the program settings in advance. Searching by coordinates is no different from the same in CityGuide:

1) Find -> Coordinates (on the second menu page)

2) Enter the coordinates and go.

The Yandex company has prepared a new application for its users that can quickly lead a person to the right place. Maps were developed for all cities in Ukraine and Russia. The navigator is suitable for any car. It allows you to drive comfortably both during the day and at night, thanks to the night mode.

What features has Yandex prepared for its users? Probably the main thing is that the navigator is able to warn a person about road works and CCTV cameras, but this will require the Internet. Other features also add to the ride comfort. "Yandex Navigator" is able to remember routes and save them; if necessary, you can find additional information about a building. Convenient search allows you to find the right place in just a minute; to do this, you need to write the address or name of the organization. The navigator is able to build a comfortable route based on traffic jams and road surfaces, and the trip itself is accompanied by voice prompts.

How to enter coordinates in Yandex Navigator

Many motorists use a navigator. Of course, buying a separate device will be quite expensive, but now a new solution has appeared. You can install "Yandex or a phone running Android or IOS OS. It is very convenient. You can install the program on your phone, configure it and calmly go to the desired location. It seems that setting up the application is simple, but many users have problems. Let's look at this and answer the main question: how to enter coordinates in Yandex Navigator?

Why indicate the location of an object? In the contacts of many companies you can find the address or their coordinates. To more accurately indicate to the navigator the place where it is necessary to move, the geographical location is entered into the program. Yandex Navigator is no exception; thanks to this function, you can find the right place in a few clicks.

What do the numbers in coordinates mean?

To find out how to enter coordinates in Yandex Navigator, you need to consider what the numbers indicated on the Internet mean. In this program, the geographical location must be entered in degrees, which will be presented in the form But in the world it is also common to use a different recording format. In this case, the coordinate is written as follows: degrees, minutes and seconds.

In Yandex Navigator, the first digit indicates latitude; this is the direction that goes up from the desired object. It is customary to use the following indicators: N - indicates northern latitude, and S - southern latitude.

The second number indicates longitude, that is, a line that runs horizontally to the desired location. Longitude is also divided, with E indicating east and W indicating west.

Entering coordinates on Yandex Maps

We have learned what the numbers in coordinates mean, now we can move on to the main question: how to enter coordinates in Yandex Navigator?

First you need to open the application on your device. To find the right place, you need to know it. If you are looking for any company, then such data should be on the website.

So, you have found the coordinates, what to do next? In the address bar, enter the data in "Yandex Navigator". The route will be plotted only after you click on the “Find” button. How to enter coordinates correctly? They are written in the address bar without spaces. If the coordinate contains a fractional part, then it must be separated by a dot. Also, latitude and longitude must be separated by a comma, but without spaces.

If you entered the data correctly, the navigator will quickly plot the route. The main thing is to check that the location is entered correctly and use the attached rules for entering coordinates.

"Yandex Navigator" for Windows, Windows Phone, IOS or Android has the same operating algorithm, so data entry will be carried out in the same way. This program is capable of converting coordinates to another system, which will show the data in this form: degrees, minutes and seconds.

If you enter the coordinates incorrectly, the navigator will indicate the wrong place that you need to find. This program has a "Swap" button. This way you can quickly swap the longitude and latitude if you enter the coordinates incorrectly.

How to use the navigator offline

As a rule, many people try to install a navigator without the Internet, since it consumes extra traffic and, in general, the mobile Internet takes quite a long time to load pages. Yandex Navigator provides such an opportunity. To use the program without the Internet, you need to download maps. How to do this?

• We go to the menu where we select the “Download maps” item. You can download information for a specific city or the entire country.
• In the search, you need to enter the name of the city or country and click “Download”. As a rule, the size of the card is indicated at the bottom.

That's all. Once the map is downloaded, you will be able to use it. The main thing is to turn on GPS and wait until the program connects to the satellites.

Conclusion

Navigator is an excellent program for motorists. It does not require any expenses, all you need is a modern phone. Yandex Navigator is very popular. This is not surprising, since it has a pleasant interface and, most importantly, many useful functions are built in. You can use Yandex Navigator for Windows, Windows Phone, IOS and Android.

). For example, in Nokia devices the location of this item may be as follows: “Applications” - “Location” - “GPS Data” - “Position”. Wait until the device finds the signal and calculates. If this does not happen, and you are indoors, hold the navigator or phone to the window.

In the Google Maps search bar, enter the coordinates in the following format:

Aaa.aaaaaaaa, -bbb.bbbbbbbb, where [-] is an optional minus (indicate it only if it is in the original), aaa.aaaaaaaa is longitude (two or three characters before the point, five to eight characters after dots), bbb.bbbbbbbb - (in the same format).

Please note: the integer and fractional parts are separated from each other by a dot, and longitude from latitude by a comma. There should be no space before or after the period, no space before the comma, and no space after the comma. Indicate longitude before . If the navigator has an English interface, the word longitude means longitude, and latitude means latitude.

Click on the blue button with a magnifying glass located next to the search bar. You can press the Enter key on your keyboard instead. On the left you will see information about the object located at the point you specified (, city, country), and on the right - . The object itself will be indicated by an inverted red drop with the letter A in the middle.

If necessary, adjust the scale using the plus and minus on-screen buttons. To see a satellite image of the area, switch the map to Satellite or Hybrid mode. If you don't see anything, zoom out. For some areas, images taken with . They are more detailed than satellite ones.

Many people know what coordinates are from school - these are linear or angular quantities that determine the position of a point on the ground or surface. Coordinates, or rather coordinate systems, are geodetic, geographic (astronomical), polar and rectangular (flat).

You will need

• Ruler, protractor, measuring compass.

Instructions

The main defining quantities in a geographic coordinate system are geographic latitude and geographic latitude. When determining latitude, it is customary to take the angle formed by a plane and a plumb line from a given point on the surface. Latitude is measured from the equator (from the zero parallel) in the north or direction, from 0° to 90°. In cartography, it is accepted that latitude in the northern hemisphere has a positive value, and in the southern hemisphere it has a negative value.

Geographic longitude is the same as latitude, an angle, only it is composed of the plane of the prime meridian (Greenwich meridian) and the plane drawn through the point whose coordinates need to be determined. Longitudes are usually measured from 0° to 180° in the east or west direction.

For the geographic coordinate system, the main concepts were latitude; in the geodetic coordinate system, in addition to geodetic latitude and geodetic latitude, the concept of geodetic height is also introduced. Geodetic height is a perpendicular line drawn to the surface of the Earth from its surface to a given point. It is conventionally accepted that the Earth has a form of rotation, i.e. It does not physically exist and therefore it is very difficult to determine the height by ground methods. Satellite measurements are mainly used to determine it.

In the polar coordinate system, instead of the concepts of latitude and longitude, the concepts of polar angle and polar radius are used. If the previous coordinate systems were specified by the surface of the ellipsoid and dihedral angles, then these coordinates are specified by the polar axis (ray). The point from which this ray emerges is called a pole and is the origin of the coordinates. A point in such a coordinate system also has two coordinates: angular and radial. The angular coordinate shows how much it is necessary to rotate the beam (polar axis) counterclockwise until it coincides with the point. The radial coordinate shows the distance from a point to the origin.

The rectangular coordinate system in cartography has the same meaning as . There are two perpendicular lines and the coordinates of the points are determined by the intersection of the line drawn from the point with the coordinate axis. The only main difference is that in geodesy the axes are swapped, i.e. The X axis is a vertical line, and the Y axis is a horizontal line. They also indicate the direction in which the quarters are numbered: in arithmetic, counting goes counterclockwise, and in geodesy, counting goes clockwise.

Please note

Depending on the goals and available methods, different coordinate systems are used

Useful advice

If the methods do not allow you to determine the coordinates of a point in a given coordinate system, then there is a set of formulas for moving from one coordinate system to another.

Coordinates Localities may not be recognized when entered into a search engine. Always refer to service specifics as they may vary.

On Yandex Maps, geographic coordinates are recognized in degrees, presented as decimal fractions. At the same time, several other formats for recording coordinates are used in the world, for example, in degrees, minutes and seconds.

Coordinates are a pair of numbers that determine the location of an object on the map.

The first digit in the format adopted on Yandex Maps is , or the angle between the local zenith direction (that is, the direction pointing directly upward over a specific location) and the equatorial plane. Northern latitude is designated by the letter N, southern latitude by the letter S.

The second number is longitude, or the angle between the meridian plane (the line of section of the surface of the globe by a plane passing through a given point and the axis of rotation of the Earth) and the plane of the initial prime (Greenwich) meridian. Longitudes from 0° to 180° east of the prime meridian are called eastern (E), and to the west - western (W).

Entering coordinates on Yandex Maps

After clicking on the “Find” button, the marker on the map will move to the point that the coordinates describe - now you can build a route.

To the left of the map, the address corresponding to the coordinates will be displayed, as well as an alternative representation of them - with degrees, minutes and seconds. In our case it will look like this:
Latitude: 55°45′6.16″N (55.75171)
Longitude: 37°37′1.27″E (37.617019)

If you enter coordinates in the wrong order - for example, first longitude and then latitude (some navigators and other electronic mapping services work with data in exactly this sequence) - on Yandex Maps you can quickly change the order of the numbers. To do this, click on the “Swap” link under the full description of the coordinates, and the marker will move to the correct point.
