Get Coordinates from google Maps - for better use of offline navigation SW

---

Yes not routinely we need to know coordinates on google map, N google also believe this, thats why they ppl disable in new version of map since long.
What actually need to get coordinates? exactly i needed it for one reason
I am using Navigon navigator, once my destination place is not mentioned in POI, How do i get navigation? once you are not much familiar with place. There is no online search option (atleast i know abt Navign India)
Here you need coordinates
Here simple guide to get coordinates from google Map

- Search your place on google map, long press it, it will popup address
- press address box and select to share this place
- select to share via , e.g. select messeging
- Now you can see a map link for your desired place, copy it
- Open Browser, Paste link in address bar, it will ask to open with, select Internet(Browser)
- Now your place will open in browser, n search tab contains digits in format of lattitude n longitude (like 22.306306,70.12345). Thats is your coordinate
- Note this and just open Navigon, select coordinate from menu, enter lattitude n longitude in respected field - Done
- Now you can get Navigation to your place offline with - Start Navigation

I know this is 2-3 step procedure, but if anyone knowing better n easy trick/ any app that showing coordinate share here

Can't just navigate to the address? Anywho, maybe you should look into an app more geared towards back country navigation or geocaching. There are quite a few in this category.

can you name one application please ? I want to be able to click on google maps and know the coordinates of that location. ideally i should be able to share the coordinates as well in a text format.

I can even pay for such an app.

Not using Google Maps directly... Locus is the best.

I remember I used to be able to click in google maps and get coordinates. Useful, when I was in the middle of the lake and I wanted my friends to know where I was.

Thanks for the tip! I run a delivery company and use coordinates all the time. They are easy to get from the laptop but tried and failed numerous times to get them from my phone. This is a bit of an awkward way but at least it works. I don't know why Google don't implement a coordinate feature into the mobile app, it's such an essential tool for driving, gets you to within 5 meters of a point

I used to get coordinates this way and use it in Evernote. I guess this method is now obsolete as any attempt to share the place from Google Maps yields only a link and some texts.

Found a workaround: just head over to your browser and load Google Maps. Search for a place and hold down, use the 'what's here' option. It will search using coordinates and they will be visible in search box.

Also, the url generated from sharing a location in Google Maps app when loaded shows the coordinates in search box (at least in the mobile browser)
