I have been experimenting with Google Maps for a recent project and needed a tool to get latitude and longitude for any location. Here are two tools written to get the same:
- Get Latitude and Longitude for any address you enter
- Get Latitude and Longitude for any place you click on the map
These should be fun to play with and one can use those geocodes (latitude and longitude) in various applications.
Google now has support for calculating geocodes for any location (earlier people had to use Yahoo to get the geocodes)
Some other fun Google Map apps to try out:
- America’s top 25 meanest drivers cities
- A set of interactive Google Maps on different categories on the topic of the 7 Wonders of the World
- Ever wondered which map technology is better, Google maps, Live Maps or Yahoo Maps? Try this tool and see for yourself
- Da Vinci Code Locations
- Forbes Magazine list of the Drunkest Cities in America
- Google Maps + Craigslist to create a visual housing search page via dynamic overlays of Craigslist home listings on Google Maps
- Up-to-date gas price search with Google Maps station display
- Track your packages with Google Maps and RSS feeds! Track UPS, FedEx, USPS, and DHL
- Map a phone number area code to a location
- Helps you determine if you are paying too much in rent. Enter an address, apartment size, and rent. It maps nearby units and shows a meter of your price versus min, max and average
I am developing a special section called “tools” on this site, where I will put utility and fun tools and apps.
