When you work with maps you sometimes want to extract a Latitude/Longitude pair from the map, or you want to enter a pair and see the corresponding map.
Google Maps and Bing Maps do things slightly differently. In general I go with Google but there is not a lot in it. Here are how you work with Latitude/Longitude in both of them:
1: Enter an Address and get the Latitude/Longitude pair
Bing - Enter the address - the Lat/Lon pair will be shown below the Address in the left hand panel
Google - Enter the address - then Right Click the marker and select What's here? - the Lat/Lon pair will appear in the address entry box
2: Browse to a Location and get the Latitude/Longitude pair
Bing - Browse to the location - then Right Click and the Lat/Lon pair will be shown in the popup
Google - Browse to the location - then Right Click the marker and select 'What's Here - the Lat/Lon pair will appear in the address entry box
3: Enter a Latitude/Longitude pair and view the Location
Bing and Google - Enter the Lat/Lon pair, separated by a comma, into the address box (e.g. 47.619905,-122.320844) - Google makes a better choice of zoom level in my opinion.
