Hi all,

Sometimes when you are browsing Google maps you may want to get the coordinates of a place on the map,, and its little tricky to get them from the "Link"

so here is an easy way to get the coordinates in different formats.

First of all Save the below to your Bookmark.

Code: Select all

javascript:location.href='http://boulter.com/gps/?c='+encodeURIComponent(gApplication.getMap().getCenter())
To do so Right-Click on the Bookmark Bar and Select "Add Page"
Image
and write any name for it, and add the above JavaScript on the URL field.

Now go to Google Maps and browse to the place you want (Make use the place is in the center of the screen, you can right-click on the place and click "Center map here" to make sure its centered)

Then Just click the link that you added in your bookmark. It will send you to another page with the coordinates of the place in four different formats.
here is a screenshot

hope its useful for you guys :)

then remove the URL and replace it with the JavaScript

javascript:location.href='http://boulter.com/gps/?c='+encodeURIComponent(gApplication.getMap().getCenter())

Make life easier, download Google Earth on your computer and select the coordination format of your choice. That's how I do it.
