Google Maps – Finding Latitude and Longitude

| Posted by watashii | Filed under Software

Here is a very useful method (hack?) to locate the latitude and longitude of the google map center-point.  Move the map center-point to your chosen location, and at the URL address bar, enter this:
javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));
Immediately, the prompt pops up with the latitude and longitude values.  Sweet.  Works on most web browsers.

    Thanks, that’s great. Works a charm when trying to figure out the Long/Lat of an address when embedding the Google Maps in a website. Cheers!
