this is a response to Verne’s question (that was unfairly suppressed):

Well you probably mean Degrees:Minutes:Seconds…

lets do it for lat = 37.040433507600035

Degrees = floor(lat) = 37
x = (lat – floor(lat))* 60
minutes = floor(x) = 2
y = (x-floor(x))*60
seconds = floor(y) = 25.

So 37.040433507600035 = 37:02:25

You would probably want to round the seconds. If so you need to call round(y, 0) (instead of floor(y))which will return 26.

hope this helps.

Verne,

If you want the converted coordinates, you’ll have to learn how to make the conversion. This page is about getting the point from Bing maps.

Optionally, if you have Firebug installed in Mozilla Firefox, go to the Script tab, then in the right pane and where it says “New watch expression…” enter “map.GetCenter()” and press enter or go to the Console tab, and in the right pane enter the same and hit Run.
