Find My Location
See what any website could learn about where you are. Allow the browser prompt and it shows your location on a map, with coordinates and accuracy. Your location is handled only in your browser and never sent to us.
- Your exact position
- Stays in your browser
- A privacy test
When you press the button, your browser will ask permission to share your location. This is the same prompt every website uses.
Why this matters
Websites can't take your location without asking — your browser always shows a prompt first. But once you tap "Allow", a site can read your position precisely, keep reading it as you move, and send it anywhere. This tool shows you exactly what that looks like, so you can decide when it's worth granting.
How accurate is it?
- Phone: GPS, often accurate to a few metres — enough to show your home or exact spot.
- Laptop/desktop: usually worked out from nearby Wi-Fi networks, so tens to hundreds of metres.
- No permission: sites fall back to your IP address, which is far vaguer — often just your town or your provider's hub.
Your privacy
Everything here happens in your browser. Your coordinates are shown to you and used to draw the map, but they're never sent to osir. The map images load from OpenStreetMap, which sees the area being shown (not who you are).
Turning it off
To revoke location for a site, tap the padlock (or site-info icon) in your browser's address bar and set Location to Block, or clear it in your browser's site settings. On a phone you can also turn off location services system-wide.
