How to Find an Address Using Latitude & Longitude Coordinates

You can find a home or business address using only its longitude and latitude, which is a precise, unique location. Each building has its own latitude and longitude, which is useful for pilots and military personnel, but is not really used in everyday life. There are some free websites available that will help you discover the address of a set of coordinates. While they may not have addresses for every tiny house in the world, they have a database that maps out most major cities.
