Hey,

There is a new feature on google maps where you can drop at lat/lng marker. 
This would be useful for just doing a few of these, if that is all you need.

On the top right of google maps there is a little green marker that says 'new!' 
next to it. click that and it brings up a menu of features you can turn on, one 
of which is drop lat/lng marker. Then you just find your spot on the map, right 
click and select 'Drop Lat/Lng Marker' and it will show the coordinates.

Not sure if that will help you.
