[Hidden-tech] Add a location to Google maps

[Bruce Hooke]

To get yourself onto Google Maps, what you want to work through is what's called 
Google Places: http://www.google.com/places
For finding latitude and longitude without a handheld GPS to look them up while 
actually standing in front of your location, I find Google Earth very useful. 
You have to download and install it but then you can zoom in on an aerial 
photograph of where you are, find your location using visual landmarks (you do 
need to be able to figure out where you are based on looking at aerial 
photographs (you can start with an address but to fine tune it you have to look 
for landmarks in the photograph). Then hover your mouse cursor over your 
location and the latitude and longitude will show up at the bottom of the 
window. http://earth.google.com

Hi Wise Ones,
This is ridiculous, but how do I add my location to Google maps? I’ve looked 
everywhere online and can’t find out how to do it. Also, how do I find the 
coordinates for my location since Google and most GPS systems have it wrong. 
I’ve been told if we give people the coordinates they can put them into their 
GPS (if they know how).
As ever, thanks.
