LOC Record Checker
Retrieve DNS LOC records that publish latitude, longitude, and altitude metadata for hosts or facilities.
What you'll see
- Geographic coordinates with altitude and precision values for the requested host.
- TTL information for planning cache duration of location metadata.
- Authority responses clarifying where the LOC data originated if not directly available.
Common use cases
- Document data center coordinates for internal mapping and incident response.
- Share infrastructure locations with partners without distributing separate spreadsheets.
- Validate geo-aware DNS policies that rely on accurate location attributes.

example.comTroubleshooting tips
- Values follow the degrees-minutes-seconds format defined in RFC 1876—double-check the order when entering new data.
- Altitude is measured in meters above sea level; use negative numbers for underground facilities.
- Align horizontal and vertical precision fields with the accuracy of your source data to avoid misleading coordinates.
FAQ
- Why do some hosts return no LOC data?
- LOC records are optional and rarely published. If the zone lacks a LOC RRset, the authority section will show which nameserver responded so you can verify configuration there.
- Can I convert the coordinates to decimal degrees?
- Yes. Multiply the minutes by 1/60 and seconds by 1/3600, then sum with the degrees. Many GIS tools also accept the raw DMS values returned here.
