How feasible is it to have a drag & drop pointer to get the exact location readings? I usually end up having to fine tune the last few digits to try and get it spot on.

Joe’s version allows you to click your desired location and then you can copy/paste the numbers from the bottom box.

David, bloomin’ heck, so it does. That’s going to save a lot of fiddling about.

Thanks Joe.

No problem. I was a little puzzled because I thought you meant that the new version wasn’t accurate enough 🙂

This new version is so accurate, that I can pinpoint my location almost to the position where the mailbox stands alongside the road. I mean really! Awesome. 🙂
