Frequently asked questions

Where does the data come from?

From the open-source Open-Meteo Geocoding API, built on an open place-name database. It is free, with no key and no sign-up.

What does the tool return?

The latitude and longitude, plus the country, region, elevation, time zone and, when known, the population of the place.

Why several results?

Many places share the same name. The tool shows up to 5 matches with their region and country to help you pick the right one.

Is geocoding private?

Only the place name you type is sent to fetch the matches. No device geolocation and no personal data.
