Hi,

I would like to capture latitude and longitude (or another searchable geocoding mechanism) when a user enters an address or selects a location on a map.

How can I do this?

Thanks, Jim

If you browse the map or do an address search the Lat Long are the co-ords of the screen center. Lat lon is highlighted.

Note : OSM represents South and West as negative numbers. With lat long North is a positive south is negative (-) East is positive, West is negative (-)
