Nowadays, if you have a phone with you along with an internet connection, you can easily find your location wherever you happen to be. There are online tools that allow you to see your exact coordinates by enabling your device’s location settings.
In this post, we’re going to help you learn about a few of the best tools that you can use for this purpose in 2025. We will take a look at how they have to be used, the features they provide, and how they stand out from one another.
The first tool on our list is Mylocationnow.org.
This is a free tool that you can use online with no downloads or registration. It provides your location in two ways:
- Using the IP Address
- Using the location settings
The IP address location provided by this tool shows where the IP is based, i.e., the ISP’s nearest data center. It could be a city away or a few blocks away, etc.
Normally, the IP location should only be trusted as far as finding the country or the city goes. It cannot point out the street address.
On the other hand, if you enable the location settings and then use the tool, it will provide you with our exact coordinates along with your street address.

How to use Mylocationnow.org?
Here is how to use Mylocationnow.org
If you want to find out your IP address location, you simply have to load the page, and the tool will do the rest. You don’t have to press any buttons or start any processes. It happens on its own.
However, if you want to use the exact location settings, then this is what you can do:
- First of all, enable your device’s location settings. You can find this in the quick access settings under different names and labels, depending on which device you’re using. For example, on Windows 10, you can find the location settings in the quick access menu by using the “Windows + A” shortcut.
- Once the location is enabled, allow Mylocationnow.org to use the location by granting permission via the browser settings. In Google Chrome, there is a small settings button that you can find on the left side of the address bar. Click on it, and you will be able to toggle the location permission on and off. (The first time you visit the website, there will be an automatic pop-up menu that will prompt you to give permission.)
After the location is enabled and permission is granted to the website, the tool will load your exact location. If it doesn’t, refresh the page.

The last tool on our list is Where-am-i.org.
This tool is quite different from the other ones that we’ve mentioned on this list. It does not provide your location based on your IP address. Rather, it only uses your device’s location settings.
There are a number of helpful features that you can enjoy with Where-am-i.org, such as a custom map view (instead of a Google Maps API) and details about your exact coordinates.
How to Use Where-am-i.org?
As we said, there is only one way to use this tool. You have to enable your device’s location and then grant permission to the website.
You can do this using the same method that we described above in the section for Mylocationnow.org.
- First, you have to navigate to your device’s settings to turn on the Location.
- After that, you have to grant the website permission to access your device’s location. The website settings can usually be accessed by clicking the small settings button in the address bar. You may also be given a pop-up prompt to allow the location permission.
With Where-am-i.org, the process doesn’t come to an end here. There are other things you can do as well, such as:
- You can share your location with others by creating a URL. You can find this option by scrolling down. Once you copy and send the URL to someone else, they will be able to view your exact coordinates by opening the link on their device.
- You can also add your location to a website using an HTML “a” tag link snippet. You can copy and paste this snippet into any element on your website (such as a button, an image, or a text). On clicking the link, the user will be led to the Where-am-i.org website with the exact coordinates loaded.
