When you select the pin, the coordinates are displayed at the top of the column next to its name. Otherwise just place the cursor on the spot.

Tried that. Doesn’t work on my phone. (Samsung) Is there anything else I might have to do to display coordinates?

Sorry, I only use google earth on a PC. Sounds like it differs on the smaller screen, although I’m surprised the coordinates are not shown for the curser position.

This might vary with different versions

in google maps zoom in to press and hold the button until the red bubble pops up

in the top left corner there should be three vertical dots, press that and you should see a down down menu

select share directions

a list of applications will pop up

I choose Messages and a new message popped up with the coordinates showing

here is a link with some info

Android Coordinates

Unfortunately, Android does not have an official built-in way to get GPS coordinates from Google Maps. I have no idea why this option is not included, but it isn’t. However, there is a little trick that you can perform in order to get the coordinates, which requires a couple of extra steps.

First, open Google Maps on your Android device and search for the location you are interested in. Once you have found the location, make sure you zoom in as far in as possible.

Now press and hold anywhere on the screen and Google Maps will drop a pin onto that location. An info or detail card will appear at the bottom and you can swipe up on this card. You should see a Share option on the info card, but if you don’t, you might have to tap the three dots in the top right corner. This will bring up a menu that has a Share option. This sharing method differs depending on your version of Android and Google Maps, but it should be pretty easy to find.

If that does not work, there are other map apps.
