This blog is about part 1 of my 20,000+ mile car-camping trip with my dogs from DC to Alaska via Labrador. Part 1, in 2011, was to the end of the road in northeastern North America in Labrador and then on to Quebec and Ontario, 7609 miles. Part 2, which took place in 2012, picked up where Part 1 left off in Ontario and was supposed to extend to Banff and Jasper National Parks in the Canadian Rockies, but Leben, my male German shepherd, became paralyzed on the trip so we cut it short. We will finish the journey in 2013, when we will return to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska.

How to Block, Copy and Paste Geographical Coordinates into Google Maps or Earth

If you wish to use a text item you see on this blog in some other Internet tool, you have various options.

If the item is already hyperlinked, just click on the item and you will go to it.

If the item is a URL address, BLOCK the item, click on it and you will go to it.

If the item is something else, e.g, geographical coordinates, name of a place, etc., click on it to block it and if you are using the right browse and search engine, a blue-framed white icon with a blue arrow in it will appear. Just click on the icon and then click on the Google Maps option.  If Google recognizes the item, Maps will take you there. From there you can go to the Google Earth option.

If no icon appears when you block it, copy the item and then paste it into the Fly To input line in Google Earth or into Google Maps.

Try doing this with with "Washington, D.C."  and then with the geographical coordinates:  52°56'22.48" N  66°55'12.35" W

Be sure to block the whole item and nothing but the whole item or Google will not recognize the place you want to go to.
