Lat and long for an address: find the town, check the pair
The finder takes the town, not the street. Type the town, pick the row whose region and time zone match, then check the pair backwards and by distance.

How to get the most from each tool on this site: why it exists, what to type in, how to read the answer, and the questions people search for.
Each article takes one question about a tool on this site and answers it: why you would need the tool, what to type in, and how to read what comes back.
Many start from a question people type into a search engine, such as why an IBAN was refused or what time golden hour starts. The answer runs through the tool, so you can check it on your own case.
Decimal degrees, DMS or Plus Code: which do you need?
Decimal degrees, as the finder writes them, suit software and map search boxes. Write DMS or DDM only when asked; four decimals are precise to 11.1 m.
Latitude and longitude finder: what should it give you?
A good latitude and longitude finder names the place it found, works backwards from a point, finds your position and takes a list. Seven checks, tested.
How to plan a photo shoot around golden hour
Pick the evening in the month table, then ask that day with your hour and subject height: the window, the Sun's bearing, shadow length and moonrise.
What time is golden hour today, and how long does it last?
Type your city and today's date: the calculator gives both golden hour windows in local time. On 30 September 2026: 64 minutes in Reykjavik, 27 in Nairobi.
Golden hour apps compared: when a free calculator is enough
PhotoPills, Sun Surveyor and The Photographer's Ephemeris cost $9.99 to $10.99. A free calculator answers the planning; the apps add on-location AR.
Equinox and solstice dates by year: why they move
The equinox has no fixed date: in UTC, September's falls on the 23rd in 2026 and on the 22nd in 2028. Type a year in the tool to get its four dates.
When is the next equinox where you live?
The next equinox is on 20 March 2027 at 20:24 UTC: 16:24 in New York, 21:24 in Paris. Type 2027 and your city in the tool and read the Local time column.
Why equinox dates disagree: 22 or 23 September?
The September 2026 equinox is one instant: 00:05 UTC on 23 September, but 20:05 on the 22nd in New York. The city you pick in the tool decides the date.
How to check an IBAN before you pay an invoice
A valid verdict rules out a mistyped character and shows the SEPA zone, not whose account it is. For a payment file, paste the column and get a CSV.
Why was my IBAN rejected? What each reason means
Paste it into the IBAN validator: the Reason names the broken rule (check digits, length, a stray symbol, country code) and Did you mean offers fixes.
Free IBAN checkers compared: what each one checks
Both free checkers test country, length and check digits. iban.com adds the BIC; fastast adds a 200-line batch, a CSV and suggested fixes for a typo.
