Shannon Airport Coordinates

CE, IE · Elevation 14m

Quick answer: Shannon Airport is located at 52.702000, -8.924820 (N, W).

Different tools require different formats — Garmin devices default to DDM, military maps use MGRS, topo maps use UTM, and web apps expect Decimal Degrees. Copy whichever format your device or application needs. Click any format abbreviation to learn how it works.

MGRS Decoded

MGRS encodes location as a nested hierarchy — zone, band, grid square, and offsets. Here is what each component of 29UNU0508039124 means.

Component Value Meaning
UTM Zone 29 One of 60 vertical slices of Earth (6° wide each). Zone 29 runs -12° to -6° longitude.
Latitude Band U One of 20 horizontal bands (8° tall each), lettered C–X (skipping I and O). Indicates the general latitude region.
100 km Square NU A 100 × 100 km grid square within the zone/band. Column letter N (west–east) and row letter U (south–north).
Easting 05080 Distance east within the 100 km square. 5-digit value = 10 m resolution. Multiply by 1 to get meters.
Northing 39124 Distance north within the 100 km square. Same resolution as easting (10 m).

Geohash Precision

A geohash encodes coordinates by subdividing the Earth into progressively smaller cells. Each extra character roughly halves the cell area. The table below shows Shannon Airport's geohash at every precision level alongside the bounding box each level represents.
