Each “apple” smartphone is equipped with a built-in GPS-module with the ability to find the location of the device with an accuracy of several meters. Usually, to work with coordinates, we use the convenient interface of applications like Google Maps. But sometimes it is more convenient to get exact GPS coordinates (latitude and longitude) to find a specific point on the map. That’s just how to do it?
BY TOPIC: iPhone keeps track of all your movements (visited places): where to watch it and how to turn it off.
To begin with, let’s answer the question that the reader probably had – “why do you need some exact coordinates there?”. Such a need may arise among fans of jogging, jogging, skiing and snowboarding, researchers, travelers, geologists, archaeologists, realtors, extreme sportsmen, photographers, as well as representatives of many other professions. For example, if you get lost in an unfamiliar area, you simply send your friend GPS coordinates, which will make it easy to find you.

How to use GPS coordinates
Now the coordinates can be copied to wherever you need – to Notes, Messages, email, etc.
Important! For applications and services to correctly determine the received coordinates, use the format data 53°52′57″ 27°36′33″but not 53°52′57″ N. sh. 27°36′33″ E d. (i.e., without “N.W.”, “E.D.”, etc.)
Alternatively, you can simply take a screenshot and send it. It is also possible to insert data into the Apple Maps, Google Maps, Yandex.Maps, etc. application. and see this point on the map of the area, then leave a “pin” there and share this place.
Unfortunately, in the current version of Compass, there is no way to save or share GPS coordinates yet. In the future, this option may appear.
