Address lookup

Where am I right now: exact address

Look up the mapped address near your position, with street number and postal code when available. Verify the building and entrance before using it.

Location permission is required. Coordinates go to OpenStreetMap services for address lookup and map display.

How to find your exact address right now

Open the address finder. Use your phone for the best accuracy.
Allow location access. Tap Find my exact address and choose Allow.
Check the map pin. Make sure the pin sits on the right building.
Copy the fields you need. Copy the street, ZIP code or full address in one tap.

How we turn your position into an address

Turning a GPS position on a phone into an exact street address

Your device first works out your coordinates using GPS satellites, nearby Wi-Fi networks and cell towers. On its own, a pair of numbers like 40.748440, -73.985664 isn't much use to a taxi driver, so we reverse geocode it: we ask OpenStreetMap which building, street and postal area are closest to that point, then split the answer into clear, labelled fields.

The result usually includes the house number, street, neighbourhood, city or town, county, state or region, ZIP or postal code and country. Each field has its own copy button so you can paste exactly what a form asks for.

What each address field means

Field	Example	Notes
Street	350 5th Avenue	House number plus street name
Neighborhood	Midtown	Suburb, quarter or district
City / Town	New York	Or village or municipality
County / District	New York County	Administrative area below the state
State / Region	New York	State, province or region
ZIP / Postal code	10118	Used for mail, deliveries, forms
Country	United States	Based on your coordinates, not your IP

Tips for the most accurate address

Use your phone with precise location on — it's far more accurate than a laptop.
Wait until the accuracy shows under ± 20 m, then refresh if needed.
Indoors, stand near a window to help GPS reach your device.
In tall-building areas, step into an open space for a few seconds.
Check the map pin is on the right building before sharing.

When the address is wrong

If the coordinates look right but the address doesn't, the map data is usually to blame — a new building may not be numbered yet, or a large property may have several entrances. If both the pin and the address are in the wrong place, your device has a poor fix: turn on Wi-Fi, disable battery-saver location modes and try again. Our guide why is my location wrong? covers every common cause.

Common reasons people look up their exact address

Booking a ride or delivery — give the driver a precise pickup point.
Roadside breakdowns — tell your insurer or tow truck exactly where you are.
New home or Airbnb — compare a mapped address with the host's verified mailing address.
Forms and registrations — find your county or postal code fast.
Emergencies — call the local emergency number first; confirm landmarks and follow the dispatcher's instructions.

Why a correct pin can have an incorrect address

The address service finds a nearby mapped object. Its entrance may be on a different road, the building may have several numbers, or the map may omit the feature you are standing on. Coordinates and address data have separate limitations: a small location radius does not certify a house number. Use visible signs and the venue's official address to confirm a pickup or delivery.

What to copy when you have no street address

On a trail, beach or large park, coordinates and a named access point may be more useful than a distant building's address. Send the fixed map link, describe a safe meeting point and make clear if you have moved since the reading. This tool does not show an apartment, floor, gate code or continuous movement.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my exact address right now?

Tap “Find my exact address” and allow location access. We convert your GPS coordinates into the nearest mapped street address, including house number and ZIP or postal code.

What is the address of where I am right now?

It's the nearest mapped building to your GPS position. The tool shows it as a short address, a full address and separate fields for street, city, county, state, ZIP and country.

Why is the house number missing or slightly off?

Reverse geocoding returns the nearest address in OpenStreetMap. Some buildings aren't numbered on the map yet, and a few metres of GPS error can select a neighbouring house. Check the pin on the map.

How can I find my ZIP code from my location?

Your ZIP or postal code is listed in the address breakdown. Use the copy button next to it to paste it into a form.

How do I find my address without GPS?

Browser geolocation can use Wi-Fi and other available signals, but accuracy varies. Location permission is still required. The separate IP lookup cannot reliably provide a street address.

Can I use this address for deliveries or rides?

Yes, but always double-check the map pin. Building entrances, apartment, suite and floor numbers aren't included in map data, so add them yourself.

Does this verify my official mailing address?

No. It returns nearby OpenStreetMap address data, not a certified postal record. Confirm your street number, unit and postal code with the property owner or postal service before using the result for mail or official forms.

Does the exact address work outside the US?

Yes. Addresses come from OpenStreetMap, which covers every country. The fields adapt to local formats — postal codes, provinces, prefectures and so on.
