    Default Google maps Latitude and longitude

    I go stung from a speed camera that was not on my Tomtom POI a couple of weeks ago in Newy.
    I check out where it was on Google maps is there a way to get the Latitude and longitude from Google maps so I can put it in the POI?

    Try finding the POI on the google earth application instead and you can get the lat lon from clicking on placemark.

    I find that when I've used google maps for the location of a particular poi location on the maps then copied whatever longitude and latitude co-ordinates into my tomtom the POI was never placed in the correct location.

    I find the best way to do this would be.

    1) browse map
    2) find the poi location by browsing the map or use the find button if you know the exact address.
    3) use the cursor position menu
    4) Add as poi
    5) select whatever poi catagory you want to add the current location to. eg Speed camera, safety camera etc.
    6) choose an appropriate name for poi or select ok for default address.

    All done.
