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.

You don't need to be logged in to do this. 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.

So it is. 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.

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).
