ok ok this is totally not correlated to our xps and Ubuntu at all.. but I love a fantastic planetarium software named stellarium (it's in standard repo) and I needed to found my home GPS coordinates so here how to do:

open googlemaps, find your address, center it into the map and the inside the url filed (in your browser) digit this snippet:

CODE

javascript:void(prompt('The GPS coordinates at the center of the map are:',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));;

a small window with the 2 decimal coordinates will appear

to convert them into Deg, Min, Sec go HERE

and if you need altitude info too get HERE

Bye from Pet
