I tried entering it into Google Maps but so far, no luck. It was taken from an old diary so I think I may need to change the format somehow. ... Save this answer. ... Show activity on this post. It's actually fairly easy, just enter it as a latitude,longitude pair, ie 46.38S,115.36E (which is in the middle of the ocean). You'll want to convert it to decimal though (divide the minutes portion by 60 and add it to the degrees [I've done that with your example... More on stackoverflow.com

Do a Google search for that string. First result is this PDF . Here is that spot on the PDF, with that code: https://imgur.com/a/kELMZh7 Check the next result . Specifically here: https://imgur.com/a/GxIKXRz Thus, I guess it is an APN . I've never noticed these on Maps before, nor do I know really anything about them. Weird! More on reddit.com

Is it possible that the second coordinate is prefaced by 4d instead of 3d? I'm trying to create the formula and there isn't a second 3d. More on reddit.com

As I see it, the steps to accomplish this task are basically: Find the latitude/longitude for the given address, i.e. geocode the address. Use those coordinates to calculate the latitude/longitude of the location 138 miles due north. The longitude should be the same since we're not moving west or east at all. According to Wikipedia, a difference of one degree latitude ≈ 111km . (Technically, it varies a tiny bit depending on how far away you are from the equator, but fortunately the question says “roughly”.) Doubling that, 222 km (138 mi) correponds to a two-degree difference in latitude, we simply add 2 to the latitude we got from the last step. What a convenient distance! Take the latitude/longitude from the previous step and use reverse geocoding to find the closest address to that point. So using the example address from the question: 1 By sending the API request https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=1398+N+Sanford Rd,+Afton,+NY+13730&key=YOUR_API_KEY, we geocode the address to get the coordinates. All we really care about is the geometry/location portion of the response: … "geometry": { "location": { "lat": 42.1792879, "lng": -75.4277321 }, … 2 The latitude of the location 138 miles north of that address is 42.1792879 + 2 = 44.1792879. The longitude is the same. So the latitude/longitude we’ll need to reverse geoencode is 44.1792879,-75.4277321. 3 Now, using the reverse geocoding API, we send this request: https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=44.1792879,-75.4277321&key=YOUR_API_KEY. The response gives a bunch of different results. Each one is a different way to describe the address—some specific, some less so. Each item in the results array includes an item called formatted_address, which is basically the one-line summary. Here are the formatted_address results we get in response to that API request: "formatted_address": "Fusa Blvd, Gouverneur, NY 13642, USA" "formatted_address": "Diana, NY, USA" "formatted_address": "Gouverneur, NY 13642, USA" "formatted_address": "Lewis County, NY, USA" "formatted_address": "New York, USA" "formatted_address": "United States" Even though we got a street name, we didn’t get an actual address. But Google Maps itself doesn’t give address numbers for that section of Fusa Boulevard , so it’s not really the API’s fault. More on reddit.com
