On the TV show “Mysteries of the Abandoned” they very briefly flash a latitude and longitude of each site. Anyone know if there is a list somewhere of all of these places w/lat & long? I think it would be fascinating to take a look at them with Google Earth

Wikipedia. Search for the place you wanna look at, read about it and laugh about how the show is so overly dramatic. Over on the right side of the screen you’ll find coordinates. Click on it, it will give you a million options of what map you want to use.

I do it all the time. Usually while watching the episode.

Beyond that, if you just pause it and write down the coordinates on the screen, I would bet you can type those directly into Google Maps.

Spoken like someone who doesn’t watch live TV anymore.

Live TV? What’s that?

Doesn’t everyone have a DVR or stream these days?
