How to enable Lat Lng mark on Google Maps

[The Incredible Hull]

Ever wanted to show your a mate a fishing spot, but didn't know how to exactly show him\her where it is? Here's how to do it below:

Enable Lat Lng Feature

1. Go to Google Maps
   
2. On the left pane, theres a small "Maps Labs" word, click on it
   
3. Scroll down till you see LatLng Marker and Enable it
   
4. Click Save Changes on bottom left
   

Dropping the mark and sending the link

1. On the Google Maps screen, right click and at the bottom you should now have "Drop LatLng Marker" click on it
   
2. You should now see a Lat and Lng coordinates, copy it and paste it into the Search box and hit enter.
   
3. You should now have a green marker
   
4. On the left pane, on the right of the Get Directions and My Places, theres a Print Icon and a Link icon, click on the Link Icon.
   
5. Copy the top URL and send to your mate!
