Tim,
I found a 9 hole course that hasn't been entered yet and I want to add it. I had just finished entering the info and I accidentally hit the back space key...ffffuuuuuddddggggeeeee!! (slow motion, just like in the Christmas Story) Anyway, since I have to do it again, I was wondering where you find out the longitude/latitude for the course. Do you do that yourself, or is there somewhere I can find it. I tried all the popular online maps and have no problem finding the address, but I can't seem to find a sight that gives me the Long/Lat...

I look all that stuff up myself. In google maps what I'll do is right click on the location and choose "Center Map Here". Then I click the "Link to Page" button on the upper right and copy that URL. Towards the end of that URL you will see the latitude and longitude (it is the last set of coordinates).

On maps.live.com it's a similar process except you click "Share" instead of "Link to Page" and you have to do it in IE so that you get the "Copy to Clipboard" option. Then you would paste the URL somewhere to extract the lat/lon.

Sounds like too much work. I'll let you do it I guess...:D
