Google defaults to your search request in the URL. But if you offset the
image, and create a new link for that position, the URL will contain the
Long&Lat values.
I have not tried this, but you could use the hop buttons in the upper
left corner. Hop east, get the Long value, then hop west twice and get
that value, the real value should be the average. Or if you're math
challenged, hop east, get the Lat, hop back and then hop N (or S) and get
the Long.
