Liquid Galaxy project

Extracting coordinates from a place on Google Earth

When you're using the Liquid Galaxy you can see the coordinates of the place that you're looking for at the bottom of the screen. To have access to this information, you have to execute the following command: sudo tcpdump and look search inside of it.

TIP: using man tcpdump you'll have access to the manual of the command. Find the port where the coordinates are located and create a script to access and store them in a file that you'll create called LocationPoint.txt organized with the latitude, longitude and altitude.

Send the script with a shared Google Docs with the LocationPoint file to lgcodein@gmail.com and post it on to the dashboard
