Because one day is 24 hours long one can easily use time to calculate longitude. One hour of time difference corresponds to 15° of longitude (360°/24 hours = 15°/hour). Suppose an observer sets his accurate watch to 12:00 at noon in Greenwich, England and then travels a great distance. The observer then notices that the sun is highest in the sky at 4:00 according his watch. The observer then knows he is at longitude 60° W (4 hours ×15°/hour = 60°).

On your computer, open Google Maps. If you're using Maps in Lite mode, you'll see a lightning bolt at the bottom and you won't be able to get the coordinates of a place.
Right-click the place or area on the map.
Select What's here?
At the bottom, you'll see a card with the coordinates.
