Random Coordinates

A latitude and a longitude, spread evenly over the surface of the earth. Mostly ocean, because the earth mostly is.

Even over the sphere, not over the numbers

Drawing a latitude uniformly between -90 and 90 crowds the points around the poles, because the lines of latitude get shorter up there. The latitude here comes from the arcsine of a uniform draw, which spreads the points evenly over the actual surface.

That is why about seven in ten draws land in water: that is the share of the surface that is water, and this draw is honest about it.

It does not know what is there

No map is consulted and no place name is looked up. Paste the numbers into a map yourself if you want to know where you landed.

Your own location is never read or asked for.
