How to get GPS data from Google Maps

[Hopki]

If you did not already know you can get GPS data from Google Maps.
This is also relevant for Object2VR as you can use it to plot your positions to take shots of a very large object such as a house using a GPS device.

Open Google Maps and find your location.
Right button Click and select "Whats here?"
This will place an arrow at that location, double click to get the data.
Regads,

Thank you, very helpful!

One more: In "satellite" view, zoom in too close and the Google Map switches to "45 degree view". The "45 degree view" makes it tough to get a satisfactory lat/long reading. The "45 degree view" can be toggled off by hovering over the MAP button in the upper-right corner and un-selecting the "45".
