Finding coordinates on GoogleMaps
To read latitude and lonitude off googlemaps (adapted from
http://gps.about.com/od/gpsproductoverview/ht/google-maps-coordinates.htm)
- Right-click on your point and center the map there.
- Paste the following string into the URL bar of your browser
javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));
My firefox experience:
If you get the error message:
javascript: and data: URLs typed or pasted in the address bar are
disabled to prevent social engineering attacks., then:
- Paste the following string into the URL bar of your browser
about.config in the URL bar
- Click OK in response to the warning.
- Find the variable allowURLBarJS and rightclick to toggle it.
