I want to create an image showing the location of something and I know the GPS coordinates. What’s the easiest workflow to show the location of those coordinates on a map?

Edit: I don’t have a map image chosen yet.

    You need to know the map projection and coordinate system…

    After you know all that, you can use some math to convert.

        Ooenstreetmap Google Maps or Scan your own. I don’t think there are other choices.

        Op didn’t specify Mercator projection… If referring to paper maps scanned or something similar, everything might be. Maybe UTM maybe worse
