I'm using our proprietary geocoder, which is using MapPoint, not Google. It lets me do fun things like drop a hurricane on Mpls and see what the insurance damages would be... not that we're ever likely to see Wilma here. It also does lon/lat & elevation lookups.
Looking up an address in Google Maps will center the map on that address if it was found. Because this trick provides the latitude and longitude of the center of the map, moving the map around manually after that will change the center position and this technique will not work accurately.
When the location you want is in the center of the map, copy and paste this code into the location bar of your browser and press enter:
![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png){kind=small}
![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
