Entering lat/long into Google Maps is extremely simple -- just type in a pair of numbers. First latitude (in decimal degrees), a space, then longitude (again, in decimal degrees, not dd mm.mmm as navigators prefer). By convention, west longitudes and south latitudes are described with negative numbers.
So, for example, the Kurz Technology Center at Purdue would be described to Google Maps as 40.4650 -86.9286

Thanks,
My car is inside the garage, and the photo only shows the roof of this
garage, with other people's cars parked on it.
But I still have to figure our how to use this.
(How to enter Lat and Long, for example).
