Explore Port Latta, Tasmania, Australia, with this interactive street and satellite map. You can “grab” the Port Latta, TAS map and move it around to re-centre it. You can change between standard map view and satellite map view by clicking the small square in the bottom left-hand corner of the map. You can use the zoom buttons on the lower right side of the map to zoom in or out to street-level detail.
This page also offers TOPO MAPS — Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets — plus a labelled MGA grid overlay, a distance and bearing tool, and a GPS grid-reference readout. See How to Use This Map below. You will find live weather, local and world news further down the page.
This interactive map shows the street layout and satellite imagery for Port Latta, Tasmania, Australia. Use the Map and Satellite buttons above to switch between street map and aerial imagery views. Use the + and − buttons to zoom in or out, or scroll your mouse wheel while holding the Control key to zoom. On a touchscreen, use a two-finger pinch gesture to zoom in and out.
Click ⛶ Fullscreen to expand the map to fill your screen for a larger view. To return to the normal page view, press the Escape key on your keyboard, click the ✕ Exit Fullscreen button that appears above the map, or on a mobile device tap the back button (Android) or the close icon (iOS).
Drag the map to pan to any area of Tasmania or beyond. Switch to Satellite view to see high-resolution aerial photography of Port Latta and surrounding areas, including streets, buildings, parks and waterways.
TOPO MAPS — NEW. Click the green 🔍 Search Maps button below the map to open a second map with a Base map row offering three choices. OSM is the standard OpenStreetMap street map. Topo shows the Geoscience Australia National Base Map — seamless topographic mapping covering the mainland, Tasmania and the external territories. NATMAP 250K shows the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 map sheets, mosaicked nationwide — the printed sheets generations of Australians navigated the outback with. The search box finds any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name, so you are not limited to Port Latta.
Reading the map like a paper sheet. Click Grid to overlay the Map Grid of Australia (MGA), labelled along the edges exactly as a printed topographic sheet is — at normal zoom the squares are one kilometre across, so you can read a six-figure grid reference by eye and judge distance directly off the map. Click Measure, then tap two points, to get the distance between them together with the grid bearing in degrees and mils, the true bearing, and the magnetic bearing to set on a compass.
Click 📍 My position to take a single GPS reading from your device. It marks where you are and reports your position as an MGA grid reference as well as plain latitude and longitude — the grid reference being what emergency services and search and rescue work from — with a Copy position button so you can paste it straight into a text message. It takes one reading and stops, rather than tracking continuously, to conserve your battery. Note that map tiles need mobile coverage, but a GPS reading does not — your coordinates stay correct even where the map itself cannot load, which across much of inland Australia is most of the time.
Map search is available for a limited number of queries per session to manage costs. Be specific — search precisely for best results.

Port Latta stands as a testament to the rugged beauty of Tasmania's northwest coast. It lies 87.7 km west-north-west of Devonport, TAS (from Devonport, TAS: bearing 293°T), and is situated 13.3 km south-east of Stanley. The air here carries the sharp tang of salt, a constant reminder of the restless ocean that gnaws at the shoreline, its grey swells often capped with white foam against a sky that can shift from a serene, washed-out blue to a brooding, bruised purple within the space of an hour. The landscape is a dramatic interplay of steep, often scrub-covered hills that tumble towards the sea, interspersed with pockets of rich, dark soil that promise bounty. Low-lying coastal plains, etched with the silvery threads of creeks, give way to rocky outcrops that jut defiantly into the waves, their surfaces slick with sea spray and dotted with tenacious, salt-tolerant vegetation. The light at dusk is particularly captivating, often painting the western horizon in hues of soft peach and rose, casting long, dancing shadows across the undulating terrain.
The history of Port Latta is inextricably linked to the resources drawn from this demanding yet giving land. Once a vital hub for the export of iron ore, the scars of that industrial past are softened now by time and the persistent greening of the earth, though the ghost of its mining legacy lingers in the very foundations of the place. The local economy has since diversified, with a strong reliance on the fertile coastal plains for agriculture and grazing, the rich pastures yielding high-quality wool and prime livestock. Fishing boats, their hulls weathered by countless voyages, still bob in the sheltered harbour, a nod to the seafaring traditions that have always shaped life here. For the traveller, Port Latta offers a quiet, unpretentious experience, a place where the rhythm of the tides and the turning of the seasons dictate the pace of everyday life, far removed from the clamour of larger centres.

This page provides a street and satellite map of Port Latta, Tasmania. Live weather conditions with current observations and a 7-day forecast are powered by Open-Meteo. Real-time local news and world news feeds keep the page current, while an editorially written description provides background on Port Latta, in the Circular Head Council local government area.
Detailed location data for Port Latta includes the postcode (7321), telephone area code (03), and local government area (Circular Head Council), with an ABS remoteness classification of Outer Regional Australia. These are among the most commonly searched location details for any Australian city, town or locality.
Search Maps opens a second, independent map. It searches OpenStreetMap for any Australian town, suburb or landmark by name; offers Geoscience Australia topographic mapping and the classic NATMAP 1:250 000 sheets as base layers; overlays a labelled Map Grid of Australia (MGA) so the map can be read like a printed topographic sheet; measures distance and grid, true and magnetic bearings between any two points; and takes a single GPS fix reporting your position as an MGA grid reference and as latitude and longitude. Map tiles require mobile coverage, but a GPS position does not, so the coordinates remain correct even where the map cannot load.
Location data is drawn from Geoscape Administrative Boundaries (GDA2020) and enriched with GeoNames and Australian Bureau of Statistics data, matched by coordinate proximity — ensuring the correct Port Latta is identified even where the name is shared across multiple localities.
