Google Maps extra Info

I have had some feedback that the earlier Google maps post neglected on how to get the GLatLng value for the centre (and placing other locations) on the map. It's fairly simple using main Google map site.

1. Go to the Google map site for the chosen region eg. http://maps.google.co.uk/ and search for the required location. (postcode, location, whatever)
2. Double click on the point on the map you want the GLatLng code for (the double click re-centres the map).
3. click the 'Link to this page' link over on the right just above the map. This places a 'real' URL for the location in the address bar.
4. Towards the end of this 'Full' address are 4 sets of long numbers with possibly a lot of decimal places ie. 53.272836,-2.491193&spn=0.00734,0.020599 the first two of these are your GLatLng values (ie.53.272836,-2.491193 in the example).
