Stupid question #1,227:

How do I get long/lat from an address?


i know plugs answered this too.....but another way i found to get the coords on google maps is to hit the "send" link and the coords are in the window it brings up in the code.

edit: i agree also it wasn't a stupid question because i didn't know either i looked it up haha.

 		So we're at 19 complete, right?

The Clockwork Orange one is driving me crazy; I've found and tried every location that I can think of except for the writer's house, which I can't seem to locate. Heck I even tried Kubrick's home location.

 		About Casino Royale; this might help.

OK, a comment... I'll spoiler it anyway even though it's technically not an answer.

#39:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
That's from Casino Royale. I can't find an exact coordinate for it; the casino is supposedly in Montenegro, but I can't get an exact loc.


The albums and movies have got me. DSOTM and Meet the Beatles were both recorded at Abbey Road Studios, but there are at least six different coordinates for each of the buildings in Google Earth.

The albums are:

#6: AC/DC's Back in Black
#17: Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon
#28: Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St.
#47: The Beatles Meet the Beatles

The movies (that are left) are:

#21: Clockwork Orange (which is my favorite movie of all time)
#30: Mad Max
#39: Casino Royale

 		If #9 is Chris Evert, then it should be the location of her last match, which she won 6-3, 6-2 at the Ariake Tennis Forest Park in Tokyo, but I can't get the coords to work. Not her?

 		Thanks. And awesome job! Any clue where/what #12 actually IS?

Hmm, mysterymap user is from Belgium like the one fan of the Facebook application. Wonder if the YT vids are the first incarnation of the game?

 		If that is Steffi Graf, she's had quite a few matches like that. The one I tried was when she beat Navratilova in the Sony Ericsson Open (which happens to be near me: Key Biscayne, Florida). No joy on that one.

 		A current list?
Anyone have a list going that has all the locations already found?

BTW, #34 is "Raynham Hall in Norfolk England" but I have to download Google Earth to see if I can get the coordinates.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Raynham Hall Lat.=52.795497 Long.=0.784645


NVM, I just went through and got caught up through the pages. I missed Mr. Toasty's recent posts, With those it should be 22. And yes I know I ONCE AGAIN have posted useless info! Laughing
