Beginner Question

Hi,

I've tried putting this into google translate but it translates it to a weird meaning so I am wondering if it is I or google which is wrong (I suspected me).
我的词典在课本的北边旁边 means beside. maybe it's the original sentence

My understanding is that this means: My dictionary is to the north of the textbook.

I would appreciate any clarification or correction please,

Many thanks,

Phil
