Is it possible to obtain the longitude and latitude of a village in China? The purpose is to use Google Earth to watch the village.
TIA.

Woodson,
Yes - once you identify the village, place the cursor over the village to determine the geographic coordinates. Also, if you had taken a GPS reading of a location in or near the village when you were visiting, you can move the cursor around until you get the same reading for the geographic coordinates on the imagery to show you the location of these geographic coordinates on the imagery.

Although identifying the village can be a bit tricky from space. Even though I'd actually visited my village recently, trying to spot it from google earth was tricky. Also difficult if, like me, you can't read Chinese. It helps that the village next door (Laizha) that spawned my village has a distinctive look from space: maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=Zhaoqing,+Guangdong,+China&sll=54.638429,26.793423&sspn=0.024787,0.090981&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=FTGuXwEdLBW0Bg&ll=22.943041,112.63381&spn=0.00986,0.022745&t=h&z=16
