What Is My IP Address?
Check the public IPv4 or IPv6 address websites see before you compare it with browser location.
Location Finder
Where Am I?
Use browser geolocation to find your current position, GPS coordinates, approximate address, and nearby map location. Your browser will ask for permission before sharing precise location data.
Before Permission
IP-based estimate
IP location can estimate your city or region, but exact device location requires permission-based browser geolocation.

- Columbus, Ohio, United States of America
Where am I right now? Use this location finder to show your current position, exact GPS coordinates, latitude and longitude, and an approximate address on a map after you grant browser location permission. You can also compare your permission-based location with the public IP location that websites can estimate automatically.
Permission-Based Location
Your Current Location
Waiting for permission
Allow location access to display your exact position.
Until then, this page can only show an approximate location based on your public IP address.
Browser geolocation may use GPS, Wi-Fi positioning, Bluetooth beacons, mobile towers, and device sensors depending on your device and browser settings.

My IP Information
Websites can see your public IP address without asking for browser location permission. This IP-based estimate may differ from your actual device location, especially when you use VPNs, proxies, mobile networks, or corporate networks.

What does “Where Am I” mean?
The browser location shown on this page is different from IP geolocation. Browser geolocation uses the device and browser permission prompt to request a more precise location from GPS, Wi-Fi, and nearby network signals. IP geolocation estimates the location of your public IP address and usually points to a city, region, ISP gateway, VPN server, or mobile carrier location.
If the map location is exact but the IP location is wrong, your device is reporting a precise location while the IP database is reporting a network location. If you are connected to a VPN or proxy, the IP estimate may show the location of that service instead of your physical location.
Privacy notes
- Your browser asks for permission before sharing precise geolocation with this page.
- IP-based location does not require permission, but it is approximate and cannot reliably identify a street address.
- For the map, your browser loads OpenStreetMap tiles. Reverse address lookup uses OpenStreetMap Nominatim when exact coordinates are available.
- Use a VPN, proxy, or Tor if you want websites to see a different public IP address.

FAQ
Where Am I FAQs
01 How does Where Am I find my location?
The page can show an approximate IP-based location immediately. If you click the location button and approve the browser prompt, it can also use browser geolocation to estimate precise coordinates from GPS, Wi-Fi, mobile, or device location signals.
02 Why is my IP location different from my browser location?
IP location often points to an ISP, mobile carrier, VPN, proxy, corporate gateway, or nearby routing location. Browser geolocation uses device-level signals and can be much more precise when permission is granted.
03 Can IP geolocation show my exact address?
No. IP geolocation is approximate and should not be treated as an exact street address. Exact coordinates require permission-based browser or device geolocation.
