How to get Latitude and Longitude?

How can I use google to get longitude and latitude?

• I am trying to find it out for Canterbury Cathedral, but if someone can tell me how to use it then I can do it myself =)

• Answer:

  There are several ways. One is to use the basic Google Maps. Open maps.google.com and seach for "Canterbury Cathedral". http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=cathedral+canterbury&sll=50.7218,-3.533617&sspn=0.169317,0.393448&ie=UTF8&ll=51.280021,1.082668&spn=0.002537,0.006148&t=h&z=18 Zoom in on it, then right-click and choose "Centre map here". Then click Link (top right) which will open a couple of data boxes. Copy the contents of either, and you'll find the latitude and longitude inside at the section starting &ll For instance, &ll=51.279904,1.082759 Quite a few sites have made it easier by using the Google Maps API (Advanced Programming Interface) to write automatic applications. For instance, try this one (http://pagesperso-orange.fr/universimmedia/geo/loc.htm ) or the one at itouchmap.com (http://itouchmap.com/latlong.html ) where you can just search for a place by name, and it returns the latitude and longitude. Alternatively, you can download Google Earth, which gives a continuous display of the latitude and longitude at the cursor.
