Finding Lat-Long

Finding Latitude and Longitude

Scan Google Earth to determine where you think the picture was taken.
Drop a pin on that location by clicking the Placemark button. (looks like a yellow thumbtack, top left of the screen.)
A Window will appear. Move the placemark to the exact location you want it to be. Notice the Lat/Long Coordinates move as you adjust your Placemark.
Copy and paste each of the Coordinates into the entry form on the "This Week's Pic" picture page, fill in the appropriate information, and submit your vote.

(Be mindful of +/- values. They matter a lot.)

Scan Google Maps in satellite view (bottom left corner) to determine where you think the picture was taken.
Drop a pin on that location by clicking the screen. A little yellow circle will appear where you clicked, and the latitude and longitude coordinates will appear in a little box at the bottom of the screen.
Click on the Lat/Long coordinates in that box and a sidebar will appear on the left with the coordinates listed both as degrees/minutes seconds and as positive/negative values. Either format is acceptable.
Copy and paste each of the Coordinates into the entry form on the "This Week's Pic" picture page, fill in the appropriate information, and submit your vote.
