GPS coord in Google Maps

1. I open Google Maps to the vicinity of where I would like coordinates.
2. I use my right click mouse button and select "center map here" from the drop down button.
3. I past this javascript code that I keep saved somewhere convenient on my computer into my browser's URL address window.

Here's the code: Code:

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

1. I click the "go to the address in the location bar" button usually to the right of the address.
2. A popup appears showing the coordinates of the center of the map like this: (43.60336, -110.7362)
3. I right click on the coordinates the copy and click either "OK" or "Cancel"
4. I then paste the coordinates into google's "search maps" text box, remove the parenthesis and click "Search Maps"
5. A popup appears with a marker for the centered spot. The popup has the coordinates in both Decimal Degrees and Degrees, Minutes, Seconds.
6. I refine as and if necessary and I have my way point for inserting into my GPS.
