Click anywhere on the #newGoogleMaps to get the geographic coordinates of a place.
That's is good! Looks like
That's is good! Looks like you have to add the N & W to get basecamp to recognize the coords...
Hopefully this helps Turbo
Hopefully this helps Turbo out with EPE.
All the worlds indeed a stage and we are merely players. Rush
Copy and Paste
Just tried the New Google by copying and pasting coordinates to Garmin BaseCamp FIND>LOCATE COORDINATES, the copy and paste function doesn't work like with Classic Google Map... What's Here
Changed the grid no results.
Doing research on couple forums...
Any ideas?

Format
Google uses the format:
37° 39.934', -78° 33.546'
BaseCamp uses the fomat:
N37° 39.934', W78° 33.546'
In Basecamp's preferences it shows using
Lat/Lon hddd° mm.mmm' which means you have to have the N and W without the + or - on the Longitude. All three of BaseCamps prefs require the N and E/W with the numbers. Which, in my opinion is wrong. Google's format i perfectly valid and Basecamp should accept it.
Edit: After searching through Google maps info, there is no way to make Google output hddd° mm.mmm'. Now if you manually paste Google's output to BaseCamp, then manually edit it to Add N and E/W and remove the +/- then it works.

Agree!!
Thanks...as you described...I tried all the combos and find the same as you did...
Think I post over on Garmin Development page this issue and see where it goes...
The Classic Google map with "What Here" and Garmin BaseCamp still works... guess I hang with Classic .

Yep
Yep, that's why I keep using Google Classic. I actually don't use Basecamp very much at all because of it's odd quirks. I use Delorme, (run windows in a virtual machine). It's a lot more intuitive and easier to use. Even Streets and Trips, (GASP!) works better than Basecamp.

Thanks for the info.
Thank you for posting this. I really missed not having coordinates. I'm glad Google brought them back.
Great to know. Thanks!
Great to know. Thanks!
"Wish list"
I posted on the Garmin Development page and was acknowledged and said they have started a "case" for the request... See where this goes?
