Find the Latitude Longitude Of Your Home with Google Maps
Q: How to find the latitude and longitude coordinates of a place when you either have the street address or the zip code or just the name of a city.
Following are steps involved:
1. Open the Google Maps website and enter the address details in the search box.
2. Zoom In the Google Maps as much as possible until you locate the place for which you need the latitude and longitude.
3. Right click that exact location on Google Maps and select “Center Map Here”
4. Click the “Link to this Page” hyperlink on Google Maps website and copy paste the URL into notepad - look for the value of ll parameter in the URL - they are the latitude and longitude coordinates of your home.

3 years back when I was using the Prophet Vedic Astrology Software, it asked me to enter Latitude Longitude of my Home.
That time I faced a difficulty to find the Latitude Longitude of my Home.
It took three years of time to solve the problem. :-)))
Thanks for letting me this through your post.

Hi Amit, here’s a bookmarklet I made a few months ago that eases the process quite a bit: http://distlib.blogs.com/distlib/2007/06/latlong_bookmar.html
is there a way to find the X and Y co-ords from a lat/long and zoom?
is there a site you can access and use the longtitude and latitude(I already have these)to pinpoint a street/house etc
