What is the Where Is tool?

The Where Is tool lets you pinpoint any city, country, mountain, island or other geographic feature on an interactive globe. Enter a name in the search box and you get an instant, visual answer: the globe rotates to the place, showing you its exact position on Earth.

Each place gets its own dedicated page with key facts — country, region, coordinates, population, timezone, elevation — plus a list of nearby cities and a link to the same-latitude tool.

How to use it

Start typing in the search box above. Suggestions appear as you type; select one to go to its page. On a place page the globe automatically rotates to the location and drops a pin. You can still drag the globe to explore, zoom with the scroll wheel, or double-click to reset the view.
