Home › Microsoft Streets and Trips › Wish List for Microsoft Streets and Trips › Find GPS Coordinates using Quick Find
Sorry if this has been suggested before.
You can use the find dialog with the Lat/Long tab to find GPS coordinates today.
I would like this feature to be extended to the quick find dialog box on the main interface/toolbar.
Google is able to interpret lots of different coordinate formats so it would be nice not only if it was implemented but I would hope it would be robust to support multiple formats and/or provide best guess.
Typing in Lat Lon in the quick find would drop a pushpin at that location like the current quick find does.

Hi Curt
I totally agree. This is a great little feature request. Did you know that pressing Ctrl+Alt+C will copy the lat/long coordinates to your clipboard in the 2010 release?

Hi Larry,
Thanks for the response. I didn't know about the Ctrl+Alt+C feature.
Seems like maybe removing the degree symbol might be a good thing though. It's nice to have but most things you paste it into will probably barf on that symbol.
Great blog BTW.
