Get the coordinates of a place On your computer, open Google Maps. Right-click the place or area on the map. This will open a pop-up window. You can find your latitude and longitude in decimal format at the top.

Search for a place on Google Maps At the top, tap the search box and enter an address, name of a place, or choose a category, like gas stations or groceries. Tip: After you find a place on the map, you can check directions to the place in a list, details about a place, or get directions with voice-guided navigation.

Use Your Mouse To Rotate Google Maps on PC To do so, right click and hold the mouse button on the map and move the mouse in the direction you want to rotate. You can rotate the map in any direction of your choice. Alternatively, you can use the compass icon in the top left corner of the map to rotate it.

The Google Maps URL changed from https://maps.google.com to https://www.google.com/maps . This change by Google doesn't look like a significant change at first, but if you look deeper - it is a big change.
