I thought this might be useful to pulling GPS for museum, and other, locations with out having to be there.

 

 

GPS coordinates anywhere.

 

1. I open Google Maps to the vicinity of where I would like coordinates.

2. I use my right click mouse button and select "center map here" from the drop down button.

3. I paste this javascript code that I keep saved somewhere convenient on my computer into my browser's URL address window.

Here's the code:

Code:

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

 

4. I click the "go to the address in the location bar" button usually to the right of the address.

5. A popup appears showing the coordinates of the center of the map like this: (43.60336, -110.7362)

6. I right click on the coordinates then copy and click either "OK" or "Cancel"
