In below I am showing the manual process of Google Map attached screenshot. You can find the lat long when you search location in Google Maps.

As you can see actual Lat Long of address in Google Map and same thing you can generate lat long with programming language.

I will show all details with python language and you can use anyone programming language just follow the below point

Step 1 : Generate Google Map API

Example of generate Latitude and longitude

import requests import json GOOGLE_API_KEY = "" address = "M G Road Gurgaon" google_map_url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address="+address+"&key=GOOGLE_API_KEY" resp = response._content res = json.loads(resp) print res { u 'results': [{ u 'address_components': [{ u 'long_name': u 'Mehrauli-Gurgaon Road', u 'short_name': u 'MG Road', u 'types': [u 'route'] }, { u 'long_name': u 'Gurugram', u 'short_name': u 'Gurugram', u 'types': [u 'locality', u 'political'] }, { u 'long_name': u 'Gurgaon', u 'short_name': u 'Gurgaon', u 'types': [u 'administrative_area_level_2', u 'political'] }, { u 'long_name': u 'Haryana', u 'short_name': u 'HR', u 'types': [u 'administrative_area_level_1', u 'political'] }, { u 'long_name': u 'India', u 'short_name': u 'IN', u 'types': [u 'country', u 'political'] } ], u 'formatted_address': u 'Mehrauli-Gurgaon Rd, Gurugram, Haryana, India', u 'geometry': { u 'bounds': { u 'northeast': { u 'lat': 28.4848552, u 'lng': 77.1231327 }, u 'southwest': { u 'lat': 28.4634884, u 'lng': 77.0333178 } }, u 'location': { u 'lat': 28.47905, u 'lng': 77.0773237 }, u 'location_type': u 'GEOMETRIC_CENTER', u 'viewport': { u 'northeast': { u 'lat': 28.4848552, u 'lng': 77.1231327 }, u 'southwest': { u 'lat': 28.4634884, u 'lng': 77.0333178 } } }, u 'place_id': u 'Ei1NZWhyYXVsaS1HdXJnYW9uIFJkLCBHdXJ1Z3JhbSwgSGFyeWFuYSwgSW5kaWEiLiosChQKEgllF- S3FR4NORHupNzwtQv3UxIUChIJWYjjgtUZDTkRHkvG5ehfzwI', u 'types': [u 'route'] }], u 'status': u 'OK' } location = res['results'][0]['geometry']['location'] print location {u'lat': 28.47905, u'lng': 77.0773237} lat = location['lat'] lon = location['lng'] print "latitude : ", lat , ", longitude : ",lon Final result will be : latitude : 28.47905 , longitude : 77.0773237

Finally you will get the lat long from address in python if you have any doubt please comment
