Anyone have a site they use for GPS coordinates? Been down about 16 rabbit holes.

Want you to join etc. My branch of the Sons Of McVeigh Want to march on Lansing again to fight tyranny. Thought perhaps I could give them a better place to focus.

I go to:

http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/map/
And zoom in to a region then run the cursor over to a location, there will be GPS coordinates in one of the lower corners of the screen. Just use those on that maps and you're going to be pretty close to an specific location.

Tap and hold the spot you want to mark and it will Drop a pin. Tap the pin, and the lat long will display at the bottom of the screen.
