How to get GPS coordinates out of Google Maps

This works with Google Maps is quick and easy, and does not need any add-ons.

1. Move the cursor over the spot you want coordinates for.
2. Right click and select "Directions to here" on pop-up menu.
3. Copy coordinates from "End Address": e.g. 29.199505,-90.041242
4. Paste them back into the "Search Maps" box and click to check position
and get them in DMS format: e.g. +29° 11' 58.22", -90° 2' 28.47"
