Coordinates For Mac

Whether you need to find the geographic coordinates of a certain town or landmark for whatever reason, or wish to calculate the distance between multiple locations, this app may just be what you are looking for.

Coordinates is a very simple OS X utility that provides a straightforward method of learning the latitude or longitude or various points on a map. The application is built upon the native Apple MapKit, which offers 3D views and makes it possible to perform searches.

If you require the latitude and longitude of a certain city, you can simply enter its name to have the application navigate to it automatically and display its coordinates.

You can also select a point on the map manually, should the location you are interested in not have a searchable name. The coordinates are displayed in decimal fractions or degrees, depending on the data format you need.

If you have obtained longitude and latitude values from another source, but do not know the specific place they are referring to, you can import them into the application, as it takes you to the designated point on the map automatically.

This tool can also be used to measure the distance between specific locations, but the app can only plot a direct line from one point to another, without taking roads into consideration. As a result, while this function can be useful, it cannot be employed for setting up travel routes.

Measurements can be displayed in metric or imperial units, as well as disabled altogether.

Overall, this is a lightweight application that, while providing a limited set of features, is easy-to-use and offers a minimalistic interface. If you need a quick way to find the latitude and longitude of various locations, you can give Coordinates a try.
