Step 1: Navigate to the place on Google Maps you want coordinates for and get that exact point in the middle of the map.
Step 2: Paste this into the address bar in your browser
javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));
Thanks to Alan Masic for sending me this tip a while back, very useful when you are needin’ some coordinates.
Pretty cool.
What would you use the coordinates for?
Like if you were using Google Maps on some page you were building, and wanted to put a bunch of pins on it. You need the coords to do that, but it Google Maps doesn’t show you coordinates anywhere on the page by default (as far as I know).
Ah, ok. Yea, that’s very helpful then
YES! Now I wont have to load that memory sucking google earth app just to get coords for demographics. This is awesome!
thanks for the code, its very elegant.
