A nifty trick with google maps to get coordinates on a place

[Magic City Matt]

Let's say you wanted the coordinates of a place to put a waypoint in your gps or just to be able to relay that information to someone else.

Step one: Center the map on the place you want to go. In this case we will use Hernandez Peak on the Pinhoti.
http://maps.google.com/ma...;t=p&z=14&iwloc=A

Step two: copy this code to your address bar on your browser: javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));

Step three: Enjoy your coordinates

Sweet. I used to have to actually go to the "link" generation link, then strip out the coordinates, which were mixed in with address barf. Thanks for the tip!
