HOW TO FIND YOUR GPS COORDINATES

When calling for fire, police or medical emergency, please have your GPS coordinates ready. It is a good idea to identify these coordinates before an emergency, and have them visible somewhere in your cottage or home.
 
Email us for a free fridge magnet with the emergency numbers and a spot to write your location. 

How to find your GPS coordinates:
 

1. Open up the Google Maps application on your smartphone
 

2. Press and hold down on the blue dot that appears until a red pin appears on your location
 

3. Click on the red pin. Your longitude and latitude coordinates will then appear. 

​

4. Write these coordinates down for easy access in an emergency 

​

If you are not at your home or cottage during an emergency, you can quickly find your coordinates using this method even if you do not have cell service.
