+Leemax Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 MapQuest is really excellent for showing a map of a location when you punch in the coordinates. But does anyone know of a simple method of selecting a location on a map and then getting the coordinates (i.e. reversing the process)? Quote Link to comment
+Markwell Posted April 11, 2002 Share Posted April 11, 2002 Mapblast does it (at least in the US). You can move the target by selecting the "both" radio button below the map. The coordinates show up above the upper right corner of the map (I don't think they do outside the US). Markwell My Geocaching Page Quote Link to comment
+Leemax Posted April 11, 2002 Author Share Posted April 11, 2002 Thanks a lot for the tip Markwell. I haven't tried MapBlast before as I didn't think it would work so well outside the US. I have just tried it on my home area, near Uppsala in Sweden, and it does the same "mistake" as MapQuest. When you move the icon to another location, the coordinates do NOT change.
