Antipodr

Antipodr is a simple little tool I created with Jake Rutter that allows you to calculate the exact spot on the other side of the planet from any location you enter.  A complete waste of time, yes, but fun!

Antipodr utilizes Google Maps and the Google Geocoding Web Service to bring you the end result.  Once the system determines the coordinates, a simple calculation determines the antipodal point (hence the domain name) and displays the map of that area.

On a side note, it turns out you’d have to live in Chile or Argentina in order to dig to China.  Lies!

Antipodr - Find the other side of the world!
