To find out the latitude and longitude of a point

• Search for it on maps.google.com.
• Be sure that is centered on the map.
• In the address bar of the browser, insert this code:

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

• Press Enter

My code – A good example

This bit of code displays on the map all the points in the associative array called $points.
