1. I open Google Maps to the vicinity of where I would like coordinates.
2. Right click mouse button and select "center map here" from the drop down button.
3. Past this javascript code my Internet Explorer's URL address window.

Code: Select all

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


4. Click the "go to the address in the location bar" button usually to the right of the address.
5. A popup appears showing the coordinates of the center of the map like this: (43.60336, -110.7362)
6. Right click on the coordinates the copy and click either "OK" or "Cancel"
