Track My Location
Start and stop a live view of your own device position. See coordinates, accuracy, speed and heading when your device supplies them.
Device location needs your permission. Your location stays in this tab until you choose an outside map or share it.
Only track this device. Points stay in this tab’s memory until you clear them or leave the page. Speed, heading and altitude stay unavailable if your device does not supply them. Tracking stops when the tab is hidden.
A download saves the points only to this device: GPX for hiking and GPS apps such as Gaia GPS, Garmin, OsmAnd or Komoot, KML for Google Earth or Google My Maps, GeoJSON for mapping software such as QGIS, CSV for a spreadsheet. Every point keeps its time and accuracy radius, in the order recorded; stopping and starting again begins a new segment, so no line is drawn across the pause. Device altitude, when your phone gives it, is kept as the phone reports it, apart from the file’s elevation: iPhones currently give height above sea level, Android phones height above the WGS84 ellipsoid, and the two can differ by tens of meters. Distance tracked adds up the steps within each segment and counts a move only once it is larger than the accuracy radius, so a phone lying still adds nothing and a winding path can read a little short.
In an emergency, call your local emergency number first. Describe a road name, exit, building or junction. Give coordinates only if the dispatcher asks for them.

The location finder connects a point to its city, county, ZIP area and time zone. Elevation accuracy explains terrain and device heights; IP versus GPS explains why location methods differ.
