Getting Coordinates of of Google Maps revisited

1. Open Google Maps


2. Right Click on the spot where you want to know the Latitude and Longitude coordinates.


3. Select "Directions to here" or "Directions from here"
   "What's here?" on the pop-up menu


4. The coordinates appear in the "Get Directions" box top left side of the map.

The coordinates are in "decimal degree" format. You can copy and past them into the Google Search Maps text box and click "Search Maps" to have a marker appear on that spot and also see the coordinates displayed in Degrees, Minutes, Seconds.

understanding of coordinate formats

The decimal degree format can be pasted directly into the ProximityCast Antipode Tool to see what is on the opposite side of the world.

Strip Mall with Six Establishments

One Picture with Multiple Establishments is now complete!
You can use Morrilton, AR as a cast initiation point to check out this strip mall with “6” establishments.
Now pictures with up to “9” establishments can be loaded with each individual Establishment uniquely identified.

Dual Establishments Under One Roof

It is common to find dual establishments coexisting like this Taco Bell and KFC all under one roof but clearly two separate establishments.
Now the multiple establishment routine makes it easy.

Baskin Robbins inside an Exxon Station

This Baskin Robbins inside an Exxon is not as clearly divided as the Taco Bell and KFC, but still lends itself to One Picture with Multiple Establishments to help users find just what they need. As always, if you have any questions or suggestions use the contact form to pass them along.

Now: check your data after upload

Also, there is now a page that lets you check the database coordinates against the coordinates on the picture after upload. There is a button that will also allow you to check the location on the map. If you find you have an error use the contact form to let me know. Eventually I’ll enable an editing routine where you will be able to fix them yourselves.

Till next time my friends, thanks for all your photo submissions!
