[Ambassadors] Heads up please: Ambassadors map is now online.

[Matt McKenzie]

Here is a method I found to get the latitude and longitude coordinates from
Google maps (maps.google.com), thus allowing you to find any point anywhere
(that Google can find).

http://lifehacker.com/software/google-maps/how-to-find-latitude-and-longitude-267361.php

Just be sure the position you want is centered on the map.  So you would
enter the search terms (your address for ex.) into the Google map location
bar, hit enter, and then use this javascript in the browser location bar
(replace the maps.google.com with this javascript), do not move the map
around.  It works quite well.

Also be sure if you use NoScript in Firefox to allow JavaScript for
google.com.
