How to search for imagery by latitude and longitude in Planet Explorer

You can search for imagery by typing the geographic coordinate into the search bar in the upper left corner of Planet Explorer Interface.

Instructions

1. Log in to Planet Explorer

2. In the search bar in the upper left corner, insert your coordinate. The format of the coordinate can be as follows (Lat/Long):

  • 37.77° N, 122.41° W - decimal degrees (DD)
  • 37° 46’ 24″ N 122° 24′ 40″ W  - degrees-minutes-seconds (DMS)

3. Planet Explorer shows a circular AOI with a diameter of about 16 km. The diameter varies by the latitude of the center coordinate.

Circular AOI around the entered coordinate

Note: To correct problems due to differences in coordinate systems, you might need to transform the coordinate to the WGS84 geographic coordinate system (Lat/Long), which is compatible with Planet Explorer.
