How to find latitude and longitude in Google maps

 

Not sure of this has been posted before but if you looking for an easy way to find Long and Lat while using google maps try this.


When the address you want to find latitude and longitude for is dead center, copy and paste this code into your browser bar:

javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));

Just right click on location on the map you wish to center and select center location from the menu.

pretty slick

Update:
Just figured it out, looks like you have to add it everytime to be able to use it and use the back to google maps link at the top.

Another Update:
I'm an idiot, it's saved under My Maps, I totally missed that.

Just remember to put the
