Latutude & Longitude .

[PM Velankar]

Latutude & Longitude are the very heart of cartography. You don't have these and you don't have maps . In new maps there is no way , at least till now I have not found a way , to get Latutude & Longitude of a place . 

You know the Latutude & Longitude of a place and you know its location . Why it is not possible in new maps . 

Also if Latutude & Longitude of a place is searched the results are misplaced by as much as 5 kilometers or more . this is defenetaly un acceptable . 

These two things need to be fixed in new maps.

Hi, 

Is the issue that the map marker is the map marker not shown at the correct location (latitude, longitude), or is it that the address linked with that longitude, latitude not accurate? The latter issue is because of poor mapping of addresses of with longitudes and attitudes, i.e., poor geocoding. But, I have never faced a problem where a latitude or longitude is shown wrongly on Google Maps, perhaps you are inputing the coordinates in the wrong format or the device that you are using to measure the GPS coordinates is not accurate? Please try converting the coordinates in degree, minutes into decimals and enter the same into Google Maps and I am quite sure that the correct location will show up, provided that you have taken accurate GPS readings. There are a huge number of tools you can use to find the GPS coordinates of a location on Google Maps, here is one : http://www.mapcoordinates.net/en.

Thank you and regards,
