Hey guys,

The plugin has a new option to set GPS coordinate manually.

If you have an idea how to get GPS coordinates using an external tool (web, program) witch use advanced and detailled maps, let's me hear. I can add a link/button to start this external tool...

Well, google maps includes latitude/longitude, but it's not easy to get
these values from the map (although google maps API provides this
ability). It's a pity, because the contrary is easy, ie it's very easy
to search a place using lat/long.

This website allows to get these values from google map :
http://mapki.com/getLonLat.php

One can also use maporama :
http://world.maporama.com/idl/maporama/

But latitude/longitude are not very precise (only °, minutes).

ok. Why not include sirectly this map into the dialog used to edit GPS
position ?

If konqueror can display the script using google api, we can certainly
redirect the window the an embedded widget into the dialog.
