How do I determine the latitude and longitude values of an address?

Background

Procore automatically calculates the latitude and longitude values of a project each time someone enters or updates the project's address in the Project level Admin tool. However, project admin can manually enter different 'Latitude' and 'Longitude' values of the Geographic Coordinate System (GCS) for a construction project's job site. To learn where to enter these geographical coordinates in Procore, see Update General Project Information.

Important iconUpdates to the project address affect geographical coordinates

Each time someone enters, re-enters, or changes the project's address, Procore automatically updates the latitude and longitude coordinates to match. If your project is using different geographical coordinates, you'll need to manually update them in the Project level Admin tool each time the project address is entered or updated.

Procore uses the geographical coordinates to display current weather information on the Project Home page. For Resource Tracking users, a tool administrator can also use these coordinates to set up a geofence that reminds your employees to log their time when they enter or exit the geofence's boundaries. See Configure Advanced Settings: Project Level Timesheets.

Answer

Procore automatically enters a project's latitude and longitude coordinates based on the project address in project level Admin tool. However, users can manually enter project GCS coordinates. There are many third-party online resources that can help you determine your jobsite coordinates, such as the following:
