My app’s URL: [https://facilit-e.glideapp.io/](https://facilit-e.glideapp.io/)

Fo some reason, some of my addresses in Paris are not located properly on the map. Even though I have tested them in google maps. They appear in different location in France, Canada and even Japan.  
Is there a format to be used so that it is accurate all the time ?

The best format is Lat, Lng (GPS coordinates of the location).

Where can I find the GPS coordinates of a location in Google. (Sorry, real blonde building an app 😂)

An example: Go to this link: [https://goo.gl/maps/QSobPWzTjdTGQ2uQ9](https://goo.gl/maps/QSobPWzTjdTGQ2uQ9)  
This is the White House.

Go to the URL in your browser: [https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+White+House/@38.8976805,-77.0387185,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89b7b7bcdecbb1df:0x715969d86d0b76bf!8m2!3d38.8976763!4d-77.0365298](https://www.google.com/maps/place/The+White+House/@38.8976805,-77.0387185,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x89b7b7bcdecbb1df:0x715969d86d0b76bf!8m2!3d38.8976763!4d-77.0365298)

This number pair (38.8976805,-77.0387185) in the URL after ‘@’ is the GPS location (Lat, Lng).

Hi, I have tried to use the Geolocation in glide but it is not finding my address .  
here is the link [https://www.google.com/maps/place/4+Rue+de+la+Bastide,+95800+Cergy/@49.0477045,2.0303852,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x47e6f499e8bb7c41:0xeb174552c2650b11!8m2!3d49.047701!4d2.0325739](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4+Rue+de+la+Bastide,+95800+Cergy/@49.0477045,2.0303852,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x47e6f499e8bb7c41:0xeb174552c2650b11!8m2!3d49.047701!4d2.0325739)  
I have taken the info that are after @ (i.e. 49.0477045,2.0303852,17) bu google maps says that the coordinates do not exist. What am I doing wrong ?

49.0477045,2.0303852
```

I do have the same issue: is there a function that automatically generates the lat and lng? Because in my list of spots i do also want show the adress, so the adress will definately be entered in the spread sheet. So for quick data input adding the lat and lng manually would be very stressfull. also in respective of users adding their own spots on the phone: adding latitude and longitude would be very complicated then…
