Website/listserv etc for home appliances?
editI'm replacing a gas range, and want to do some research that goes a little deeper than the ordinary information from Consumer Reports, Amazon reviews, etc.
Is there a website where they really geek out about this stuff? Herbivore (talk) 19:41, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Finding a location based on a screenshot from google maps
editFolks,
I'm doing some research on aviation crash sites. At the moment, I have a screenshot from google maps. I have, stupidly completely forgotten to record one of the locations. Is there any software or anything to match up the screenshots with the actual map/location on google maps? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.195.27.47 (talk) 21:59, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
- It seems unlikely. Have you tried looking in your browser history? SteveBaker (talk) 22:46, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
- You could always try posting the image somewhere and see if people can recognize it. Crash sites tend to be near airports, airports tend to be near cities, and cities are relatively easy to recognize for people who know them. --174.88.134.156 (talk) 22:51, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
- Does your screenshot include the address bar of your web browser? If so, that should contain the co-ordinates. For example, https://www.google.com/maps/@51.4723296,-0.4485449,14.53z?hl=en gives you Heathrow airport, and the co-ordinates are 51.4723296 N, -0.4485449 W.
