Thanks! Is it possible for a bash or python script to query Google maps and get the returned values? That would be very helpful for our work, and save a lot of time.

Wow, I did not expect this to work. I had no idea you could pass javascript through the address/location field that way and have it "interact" with the website. I plan on using this to add geotagging to some content on my personal site.

If you think that going out, spending time and money, and getting a GPS is easier than typing a line of code into your web browser address, than... actually I'm at a loss for words on this one. Works perfectly and it's more accurate, cheap and faster than buying a GPS. :-)

Not very precise (ironically), if you try to do the math to convert this to minutes and seconds. I wound up wildly off from the original location. Use with caution.

That should read Google Maps" rather than "Mpas" anyway, thanks for this nifty tip. Very useful when helping my 6th grader do geography reports, etc.

It works...but only if you FIRST pull down the google bar "pop-up blocker" tab and select "always allow popups from Google Mpas." Very useful, but ultimately, for my purposes (sending to my android navigation via email to myself) it is better to click the "link" tab and cut & paste this into the email.

Then, when out in the field, no need to search for a spot - merely open the gmail with the link embeded and click on it and - off you go...

The whole units of degrees will remain the same (i.e. in 121.135° longitude, start with 121°).

Multiply the decimal by 60 (i.e. .135 * 60 = 8.1).

The whole number becomes the minutes (8').

Take the remaining decimal and multiply by 60. (i.e. .1 * 60 = 6).

The resulting number becomes the seconds (6"). Seconds can remain as a decimal.

Take your three sets of numbers and put them together, using the symbols for degrees (°), minutes (‘), and seconds (") (i.e. 121°8'6" longitude)

This is really handy. Suggested improvement: Turn the above code into a link so readers can drag-and-drop it as a bookmarklet into their toolbars.
