Latitude/longitude

Getting the precise latitude/longitude is important, to ensure that your visitors know precisely where they are heading to .

Whilst a postcode works well for SOME venues, it isn’t universal.

How to get the latitude/longitude for your venue.

1 Visit Google Maps, and find your venue

https://www.google.co.uk/maps

2 Locate the precise spot on the map (ideally on an actual road) that you want visitors to drive to.

Usually, this would be the entrance to a car park, or for on-road parking, the closest parking space to the venue entrance/gate.

3 Click with your right mouse button on that spot

You will see a small menu appear – with the latitude/longitude marked at the top.
