Interesting one. It looks as tho' there are two lat and long positions in the address line - 38 deg and 0.7 ish West, however neither tie in to Google Earth's indication of the airport's or Golf Course's position.
I'd hoped to be able to use them to enter into TT.
Another way would be to find the Golf Course position on TT (Map View) by finding the nearest town (Torre Pacheco?) then working along the roads sideways to the point on the map by the GC. Then save that point as a FAVOURITE.

Give it a go, unless someone sees what I've missed!

I use the method described here, putting the code in a bookmark on my
bookmark toolbar, to get the coords of the centre of a displayed Google
Map.

Very handy! Thanks.
