How to get free GPS latitude and longitude

How to get free GPS or Global Positioning System.
It's not really GPS but it is finding the official latitude and longitude of a place so you can clearly show on a map the location you want to identify.

1) Run Bing Maps on the internet. http://www.bing.com/maps/

2) Find the location you want the latitude and longitude of . Zoom in as much as possible.

3) Click " Share". a pop-up window appears. Switch to "Show Full URL"

4) Copy and past the URL to notepad or whatever kind of text program. In the URL there will be two numbers. Remove the "~" separator.

5) Put the numbers into google maps to confirm the latitude and longitude.

You now have free GPS.

 Example
 http://www.bing.com/maps/?v=2&cp=45.514475~-73.560661&lvl=9&dir=0&sty=r&where1=Montreal%2C%20QC&form=LMLTCC

45.514475~-73.560661

 45.514475 -73.560661
