How to Find Google Map Coordinates
Google Maps is an online mapping program that enables you to locate places by typing addresses. View directions to your destination by car, rail or walking. It allows you to see a realistic view of the location either from the air or, in certain cities, on the street. The site even provides you the ability to create your own maps, for example, if you want a record of your vacation travels, or need to let guests know how to reach your home. Knowing the coordinates to a map location is useful if you want to transfer that information to a GPS device or external mapping program.
