STEP 3: MAP & PREVIEW THE COORDINATES OF MY CHOSEN PLACE

STUDENT INSTRUCTIONS

Not all latitude and longitude coordinates are accurate. This map tool will help you get more precise coordinates so you can accurately map your chosen place for everyone.
Your goal is to get the most precise latitude and longitude coordinates of your chosen place. Think of it as "homing in" to your chosen place.
- Enter your current latitude & longitude coordinates in the fields below and click on the Go button. (These coordinates may have already been "entered" for you.)
- Use the map navigation tools on the left of the map and the overview map to get closer to your chosen place.
- Once you are close enough, click directly on the map location where you want to get the new coordinates.
- If your chosen place is a large area like a country, try to obtain the coordinates of the approximate center of your chosen place. You may have to zoom out for this.
After verifying your coordinates or getting more accurate coordinates, copy them down and move to STEP 4: SEARCH FOR AN IMAGE OF MY CHOSEN PLACE
