Does anyone know how to get coordinates from maps?

    Coordinates are a great way to get to any location in the world if you have a sat Nav and I often have to get coordinates of certain places to send to a driver. I do this on my laptop by going to Google maps, right clicking the exact spot and then clicking "What's here?" the coordinates pop up in the search bar and I can then send them. If I'm not at my computer, I've tried using the maps app but there doesn't seem to be any option to get coordinates at all :(

    Am I missing something obvious or does anyone know how to get them?

    Any feedback appreciated :)

    There's probably a better method but here is at least one way.

    OsmAnd - long click on map shows coordinates.

    Thanks a lot, it's quite a long winded method, but it works!

    Thanks for the OsmAnd suggestion too, I think I'll stick with just using Gmaps though even if it's a little complicated to get the coordinates..
