Sam Warfel Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Does anyone know how to find one’s exact geomagnetic latitude? I can guess based on the maps you get when googling that have lines at 50, 55, 60, etc. but I was hoping there was a way to tell more precisely. Anyone got an idea?

Yes, Bring up your location on Google Maps, then right click the map and it brings up a panel with a number of options. At the top it shows location accurate to five decimal places.

I’m talking about geomagnetic latitude (it’s different because the magnetic poles are not at the geographic poles) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagnetic_latitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could calculate it, I have the formula 😜, just let me know the coordinates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vancanneyt Sander Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Or you can use this map 😜 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
