About
A search panel above the Layers panel (Google Earth Pro layout). Type a place or address and get live suggestions from Photon, Esri and optionally Google Places, with OpenStreetMap Nominatim and deep search on Enter. Results near the current map view rank first. Understands decimal degrees, DMS and DDM in any order with hemisphere letters, lat/lon swaps, Indian numerals, UTM, MGRS, Plus Codes (full and short with a locality), geohash, WKT, EPSG-tagged and bare projected coordinates, and links from Google Maps, Google Earth, OpenStreetMap, Bing, Apple Maps, Waze and geo: URIs. Also searches attribute values of loaded layers, spatial bookmarks, recent searches and saved places. Shows a Google-style pin, area outlines and a place card with every coordinate format, copy buttons and links to Google Maps, Earth and Street View. Includes a What's here? tool and right-click map menu. Never blocks QGIS and uses the QGIS proxy settings.
