Where am I right now?
See an approximate area from your internet connection as soon as this page opens. For a closer reading, allow your browser to use your device’s location.
Your approximate location
This estimate uses your public IP address. It may point to your internet provider or VPN rather than where you are.

Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors. Loading the map sends the displayed area and your IP address to OpenStreetMap. Showing a device point on the map is a separate choice.

The embedded map keeps showing the approximate area until you select “Show device point on map.” Opening the link sends device coordinates to OpenStreetMap. Copying them places them on your device’s clipboard.
Two different estimates
The first result comes from a database that associates your public IP address with an area. It does not need browser location permission and can be wrong by a city or more. The device result uses your browser’s location feature and includes an accuracy radius.
If the result looks wrong
An IP estimate may show your internet provider or VPN. For a device reading, move outdoors or nearer a window, check location settings, and refresh the result. A computer without GPS may still return a broad area.
How does a website know where I am?
After you allow access, your browser asks your device for a position. Depending on the device and available signals, that position may use satellite navigation, nearby Wi-Fi networks, cellular signals, or other location services. The browser returns coordinates and an accuracy value to the page. This site displays those values directly without looking up a street address.
Location permission is optional. If you deny it, the approximate IP result can still appear, but the page cannot show your device’s position. The IP lookup sends a request to GeoJS when the page opens; it is separate from the browser location request. The radius shown for an IP estimate describes a broad likely area, while the device accuracy radius comes from your browser. An IP point may represent a network provider or VPN exit point rather than your physical position.
The embedded map opens on the approximate IP area. After a device reading, you can choose to place that point on the map or open it in a separate tab. Either action sends the device coordinates to OpenStreetMap. If you need to tell someone where you are, check the displayed accuracy and confirm the map point before you share it. In an emergency, use the local emergency service and describe visible landmarks as well as your location.
