Google Earth Hacks: How to Find (and Use) GPS Coordinates

One of the inherent challenges every land investor has to deal with is finding the precise location of the properties they're working with.

Most vacant land properties don't have a registered street address - so it's not as simple as plugging an address into your GPS system and driving there. To get turn-by-turn directions, you need to know what those exact GPS coordinates are, and THEN you can figure out how to get there.

Luckily, Google Earth provides us with an easy tool to help us get the latitude and longitude of any location on earth, which can then be used to create and send a sharable link to anyone who needs to know where the property is (and you can also generate a full-blown set of directions for them if they need it). I'll show you how it works in the video above.

Thank you I couldn’t find out how to do it Now I can finish my homework

I’m doing geocaching and I had no idea how to find the coordinates thanks to you I found it this video is very helpful

Thank you for the sharing! Your elaborate explanations and examples have helped me very much!

Let me help make this faster and easier: For example: "The Cave" at the base of the Canaleta on Aconcagua, Argentina. Coords given on a website are 32º 39.24'
(S) 70º 00.95' (W). Now, if you enter those coords as is, you will get: 32º 39.24'
(N) 70º 00.95' (E), (wrong hemispheres) so you must enter the negative of each, like: -32º 39.24' -70º 00.95'. Now, since you can't get the degrees symbol, just enter: -32 39.24, -70 00.95. Mind the spaces between degrees and decimal_minutes. Lastly, (at least in my case) the coords that show at bottom of Google Earth window (lower right) are the degrees minutes decimal_seconds conversion of the degrees decimal_minutes you have entered in this example. Done.

I’m trying to figure this out from a map of a location but so far I can’t 😩

How to find specific lot if I only have the certificate title but it does not indicate the coordinate the exact location of the lot

It would be beneficial if the video was in focus.
