google maps and latitude, longitude
For anyone who doesn't already know, there are several ways to get google maps to display a latitude/longitude. You can enter them in the query box like so: 35.5N 115.5W or 35.5,-115.5 (I think they added those within the last week or two.) Or you can use the original method, a GET-style form (I don't know whether POST works): <form id="gooform" action="http://maps.google.com/maps" method="get" style="margin: 2px;"> <input type="text" value="" name="q" size="30" maxlength="512" /> (lat,long <input type="text" value="33.835,-116.99" name="ll" size="14" />) (span <input type="text" value=".001,.001" name="spn" size="9" />) (type <input type="text" value="k" name="t" size="1" />) <input type="submit" value="Go" /> </form> which translates into http://maps.google.com/maps?q=&ll=33.835%2C-116.99&spn=.001%2C.001&t=k -- Unable to correct the source of the indignity to the Negro, [the Phoenix, AZ public accommodations law prohibiting racial discrimination] redresses the situation by placing a separate indignity on the proprietor. ... The unwanted customer and the disliked proprietor are left glowering at one another across the lunch counter. -William "Strom" Rehnquist, 1964-06-15
