    Steps involved;

    1. navigate to a desired location in google maps
    2. paste this script into the url bar + hit enter

     
javascript:void(prompt('',gApplication.getMap().getCenter()));
 

    3. a window will pop up showing you the gps coordinates of that location
    4. done!

    Hope it helps!
