How to Obtain the Latitude and Longitude of a Marker

1. Cellphone Camera Screen
There are many ways to for you to obtain Latitude and Longitude coordinates for a marker you are adding to the database. Here are two popular methods:
A. Let you camera do it for you. Today virtually all cell phone cameras and many dedicated cameras can be set to embed location information in each photograph. You can't see it on the image but it is in there. If your photos have location information in them, things got real easy for you. Simply leave the latitude and longitude fields blank on the Add-A-Marker form and then when you upload the first photograph, the system will automatically fill the latitude and longitude fields for you. No muss, no fuss.
When you use your photo’s embedded information you should check the map this website creates. Sometimes the camera has not yet figured out where you are when you click the shutter and it will embed the location of where you used to be. Or if you are taking the photo from across the road with your telephoto lens, the maker will be mapped on the wrong side of the road if you don’t intervene. If the location is wrong, you'll have to use method B below to correct the numbers.

2. Google Maps Example
You can copy and paste these numbers into the database like this: Click once on the numbers in the little window. This will transfer them to the search box on the upper left where you can then highlight and copy them. Paste them into the proper fields on the Add-A-Marker or Correct-This-Page form and you're done!
By the way, the minus sign, when present, is very important on a map coordinate number. Don't forget to copy it.
