How we get to a new place via GPS.
First we locate the place on Google map. In this case we are trying to locate a Korean supermart after Lin brought back a big bag of Korean chips, a gift from her classmate and wanted to get some more.
Then we click on the Google Earth link to launch the app. See below.
Mouse over, and zoomed in reveals the GPS co-ordinates for Asian Trading, which is on the second floor of the Safesway Building.
Location: 25N 11' 26.44", 55E 15' 25.15"
The next step is decidedly low tech. With a ball point pen, I write down the above co-ords; take it down to the car and manually input them.
