On Jul 11, 3:55 pm, Alan Browne I used the coordinates you sent. I'll move it over to the west edge of the feature. Thanks, that is actually pretty close to where the picture was taken. I didn't realize you could change the map type in GeoSetter, and all I saw was a big green area in street view, so I made a guess that the pool was close to label on the map, when it wasn't. Switching to satellite view showed the error of my ways. Hey, I'm on a learning curve here! If you're "logged in" (another advantage of a gmail account), while in Google Maps, you can right click and "drop" a lat long marker at a point of interest. Copy/paste the coordinates (which will also be in the less messy DDD.DDDDD format). In Google Earth, you can drop a pin on a feature, then use "Get Info" to get the coordinates. A little messier as a procedure. -- "Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities." -Samuel Clemens. |

Look at the bottom of the left-hand panel for "Maps Labs" in a barely readable font size. Clicking on this will open up a panel where you can select various less or more useful tools to use with Google Maps. -- Joe Makowiec http://makowiec.org/ Email: http://makowiec.org/contact/?Joe Usenet Improvement Project: http://twovoyagers.com/improve-usenet.org/ |

Didn't know that one - I enabled that under my account when it came out a couple (few?) years ago and assumed it was attached to that. -- "Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities." -Samuel Clemens. |

GeoSetter had everything needed, I just didn't know how to use it at the time (my first hour using the tool). I could have given you coordinates, too. It was just a random choice. Of course. There was nothing wrong with the other photos coordinates you provided. There are so many tools and they aren't uniform in their approach (good thing/bad thing). -- "Civilization is the limitless multiplication of unnecessary necessities." -Samuel Clemens. |
