You just copy them off the display window in the top left corner of the Google Earth page. There is one for latitude (north-south) and one for longitude (east-west) axis. I'm sure that you can figure it out. If not, give me a shout and I'll explain it better.  |

As long as it is on a PC. My fingers don't like touch screens and I don't feel comfortable with laptops. LOL

I used to feel the same way, Heretix, then I got a touch screen lap top and am now used to it. I still prefer this desktop computer though! btw my place is not on Google maps, we are just too rural I think.... |

I use to use goole earth a lot to look for places I have been. I some times do, too. Interesting to see how Lebanon and Israel have developed, but the part of Somalia where we lived is in complete ruins.  |

We live in a hilly area so one thing I liked doing was go to our house, zoom back just a little and slide across the area and you can see all the low and high areas. It's like flying in a helicopter across the area.

True. I have a game going on with my father to find out where certain photos are from in a particular province, so I guess first, then copy the angle on Google Earth and check whether the two perspective match. Very useful! I remember the first time I tried it and was flying in circles around Mt Everest! And if you click on "tools" in the menu bar, you'll find a flight simulator as well! I've tried it a couple of times, but I always crash.  |
