Introduction:

Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates play a crucial role in location-based applications and geospatial analysis. Python, with its rich set of libraries, provides powerful tools for working with GPS coordinates. In this article, we’ll explore how to manipulate and work with GPS coordinates using Python.

process are provided in following steps:

  1. run the following programs in your python terminal that you using.

| pip install geocoder

2. And then import the command which you haverun in the previous process as :

| import geocoder

3. Then run the followings code:

| def get_coordinates():
| return geocoder.ip(‘me’).latlng

| coordinates = get_coordinates()
| print(“your current coordinates are:”, coordinates)

After all the processes we will get our co-ordinates easily. Like in my case I got the co-ordinates as [26.8393, 80.9231]

Conclusion:

Python’s versatility and the availability of powerful libraries make it an excellent choice for working with GPS coordinates. Whether you’re retrieving coordinates, calculating distances, or visualizing data on maps, Python provides the tools needed for effective geospatial programming.
