Note the new box which comes down when "link to this page" is clicked. Is this new?

It's from about a week ago, maybe less.

"from" or "since"? I hope you understand me.

I saw this the other day. I just assumed they changed this when they made this update, but I wasn't sure:

This has been there since not long after the update (could have been with the update). I find myself using the link to this page feature and I remember noticing that it had changed a couple of weeks ago.

<<"from" or "since"? I hope you understand me.>> They both make sense ;-)

HI
I HAVE AN INTERESTING IDEA FOR GOOGLE MAPS.
MAY SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO SEND IT TO GOOGLE MAPS ?

Tony & Martin both are right ;-)

Thank you James!!!

No prob :D

Is there anything like a link that will work for Google Earth?

I find it very disconcerting that I can't just click on a link and not open GE, and head towards my target.

Yes, I know a KML file would work if I download it... but I want just a standard link!

If you at the url in the link to this page section there are two longtitude and latitude values. Copy these into GEarth and hit return, thats all I can think of :(

For example:
My friend from floriiiiiiiida lives here http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=6773-d,boca+pines+trail&sll=28.033198,-80.617676&sspn=3.403415,7.338867&ie=UTF8&ll=26.362445,-80.149778&spn=0.001687,0.003583&t=k&z=19&om=1
If you take the two pieces of info from the url that look like latitude and longtitude; which here are 28.033198 and -80.617676 and paste them into GEarth it should work. I can't test this because I don't have GEarth but I'm pretty sure it will work ;-)

OK I tried this but it brought me to a different part of Florida :(. Sorry

> 28.033198 and -80.617676

Actually, they're wrong. The URI is quite confusing and it took me a bit of testing to figure out which are the real co-ordinates.

&sll=28.033198,-80.617676
&sspn=3.403415,7.338867
&ll=26.362445,-80.149778 << These ones
&spn=0.001687,0.003583

You can check this by removing the other three, the pointer still points to the same location.

Ah, Greaaat work Martin!
I presume the ll in &ll= is for longitude and latitude. BTW Philipp why is "Gre*t Work" banned?
