On iPhone and iPad, how do I get the latitude and longitude number from the Maps app or Google Maps app?

For example, on a desktop computer, if I enter in Google Maps website:

Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA

I can easily get in the URL

37.769425,-122.48840

If I use the Maps app or Google Maps app, is there a way to get the latitude and longitude number easily?


For Apple Maps:

  1. Open Maps for iOS.
  2. Touch and hold an area of the map.
  3. Pull up the "Marked Location" drawer. There is a section with latitude and longitude.

For Google Maps:

  1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Google Maps app Google Maps.
  2. Touch and hold an area of the map that isn’t labeled. You'll see a red pin appear.
  3. At the bottom, tap Dropped pin. You'll now see the coordinates.
