GPS to the rescue - again

Thursday Darlene and I drove out to a dear friend's place out in the country - I'm talking 'middle of nowhere'. They don't have a street address, so the best we could program into the GPS was a set of coordinates. Google Maps to the rescue! Once I found the place we were going to on the map (with a little help from satellite view), I just centre the place on the map and click link. The field below 'Paste link in email or IM' contains the coordinates you need.

All I had to do was plug those coordinates into the GPS and it navigated us there sans problem. Very nice.
