GPS Coordinates to Map Photo

How to use it

1. Type or paste coordinates, for example -12.4634, 130.8456, or 12°27'48"S 130°50'44"E. You can also paste a Google Maps, Apple Maps or OpenStreetMap link, or a geo: link. Put several on separate lines to do several places at once.
2. Tick the map links you want: Google Maps, Apple Maps and OpenStreetMap, or all three at once.
3. Choose how close (from a whole city down to rooftops) and the photo quality. High and Maximum draw the picture two or three times larger from closer map squares, so it is genuinely sharper, not just enlarged. Where the imagery is not that detailed, the closest available picture is used.
4. Choose what to make: a photo, a zoom-in animation (GIF) that starts from space and zooms down to the spot, or both.
5. Choose the marker: crosshair, viewfinder, target rings, map pin, circle, dot or no marker, and its colour.
6. Download the photo or animation, and copy the clean map links.

Clean map links

Map links copied from apps often carry tracking codes and details about how you searched. The links made here contain only the coordinates.

How private is it?

• The coordinates are read, and the pictures drawn, on your own device. We never receive your coordinates or the finished pictures.
• Offline world imagery (the default) uses one file with satellite pictures of the whole world, downloaded once and kept on your device. Every picture is then made with nothing leaving your device, so nobody can tell which place you looked at. It shows countries and regions, not individual streets.
• Offline area packs: streets and houses. Download one area once (from a 2 km neighbourhood up to a 60 km region), and every picture of that area is made with nothing leaving your device. The area is placed at random around your spot, so the download does not show the exact place. House-level photos come from government aerial photos in the United States, the Netherlands and France, and parts of Australia (ACT Government and Aerometrex (MetroMap), CC BY 4.0, © State of Queensland (CC BY 4.0); © Planet Labs, © Department of Customer Service, NSW Spatial Services, © State of Victoria (Vicmap), © Government of South Australia (Location SA), the LIST © State of Tasmania, © Western Australian Land Information Authority (Landgate), NTLIS, Northern Territory Government); everywhere else, packs show roads and neighbourhoods (Sentinel-2, 10 m). Packs are kept on your device: press Save to file to move one to the Juvega Offline Toolkit app or another device.
• For detailed online pictures anywhere, choose Detailed imagery under Privacy options. Then:
  • your device downloads small map squares through our server, so the imagery provider (Esri) never sees your IP address.
  • map squares are requested in a way that keeps them out of our web server logs. Close-up squares are never stored on our server, and nothing is kept in your browser's cache.
  • Hide the exact spot (on by default) also downloads a random number of extra squares around the area, in random order, so even the map squares requested do not point to the exact spot.
• No satellite picture makes only the coordinate card and the links.
• The pictures contain no hidden details (no EXIF, no device information). The date is only added if you tick it.
• Clear everything wipes the coordinates, pictures and links from the page. Nothing is saved when you close it.
• Opening a map link sends the coordinates to that map company, so only open links you are happy to share with them.
