Extension summary

HOW IT WORKS With just a button located at the top right of the Google Maps screen (below your Google account image), you can manually or automatically copy and paste the GPS coordinates of any selected place in DD format (decimal degrees) and in DMS format (degrees / minutes / seconds), with its latitude and longitude, respectively.

An example. If you select Barcelona on Google Maps and then click on our button, you will see its coordinates in this way:

  • DD (decimal degrees): 41.382894, 2.177432.
  • DMS (degrees, minutes & seconds): 41°22'58.4"N 2°10'38.8"E.

Remember this Google Chrome's utility is used to show the coordinates of any area, township, commerce, point of interest (POI / POI) or even a place anywhere in the world selected directly on the map. Although there is no information on Google Maps, you will have its GPS coordinates :)

If nothing is selected in Google Maps, the coordinates shown will be those in the center of the screen.

COMBINABLE WITH OTHER GOOGLE CHROME EXTENSIONS: ★ Google Maps select and search (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-maps-select-and-se/iobjmgojenedagiebkecldbpgimlchje): After selecting a text to search it on Google Maps, you can get its coordinates immediately with our extension ★ Send to Google Maps (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/send-to-google-maps/bhggankplfegmjjngfmhfajedmiikolo): After selecting a text to search it on Google Maps, you can get its coordinates immediately with our application. ★ Pushbullet (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/pushbullet/chlffgpmiacpedhhbkiomidkjlcfhogd): Once you have this extension installed, select the desired coordinates in the text field, and from the context menu (right mouse button) press Pushbullet and send it to the device you need.

In general it´s a great idea and th button is easy to handle BUT it is not accurate. The GPS position of POI is not compatible with Google Maps: when I search for the given coordinates in GM again, I´m leaded to a place some 100 meters west of the POI.

This was a useful extension, but the 3.4 version has some dodgy code in it that rewrites links to point towards amazon and ebay affiliate links. You can check out the code yourself in the 3.4_0/z.js file inside the extension folder.
