Continous latitude and longitude on Google Earth

google earth

Last summer I opened Google Earth to a satellite image, as usual, where the position of the cursor was continuously updated to show long. and lat. in overlay at the periphery of the screen. This also had dots showing where people had uploaded pictures from the location. Now I cannot find either feature. Where do I go for this? Did it die with New Google Maps? To clarify, I first opened Google Maps to the area I wanted (town), then clicked on the "earth" option, which takes me to Google Earth. But now there's no continuous cursory lat/long designation nor are there the circles you can click on to find user photos at the location.

Finding the Lat and Long - Updated Answer at Bottom

To get the lat and long it is a little more complicated. Look at the URL. The one shown in the gif above has the following URL:

https://www.google.ca/maps/preview#!q=Moses+Springer+Park&data=!1m4!1m3!1d46929!2d-80.5184007!3d43.4739984!4m32!2m14!1m13!1s0x0%3A0x145b19312461b8bb!3m8!1m3!1d11732!2d-80.5308033!3d43.4747147!3m2!1i787!2i389!4f13.1!4m2!3d43.4736755!4d-80.5111974!5m16!2m15!1m14!1s0x89d4cb90d7c63ba5%3A0x323555502ab4c477!2sToronto%2C+Ontario!3m8!1m3!1d88307!2d-80.527934!3d43.475226!3m2!1i1440!2i732!4f13.1!4m2!3d43.653226!4d-79.3831843

If you look at the end of the URL there is the following found at the end of it:

43.653226!4d-79.3831843

This means the lat and long of Moses Springer Park is:

Lat: 43.653226

Long: -79.3831843

Edited answer for update:

Google maps has made an update, and now it is much easier to get coordinates. Simply click on a location and coordinates will be displayed. Take a look at the following image for an example
