Lat/Long in Google Maps

[Don Begley]

  Find a location in Google Maps and center it in your computer  
screen. Paste this command in the url bar:

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

You'll get the lat/long for that location.

Along this line, check out My Maps on the left side of google maps. There's a
bunch of nifty layers to turn on. I currently use:
getUSAddress
getLatLongPlus
Distance Measurement Tool
Elevation Contours
Altitude Resolving Tool
Meteorolical Maps Overlay
API reference
US Census

I believe you meant "Google Earth", Stephen.

Nope.  Google maps.  Click on the tab "My Maps," then "Browse the
directory."
