Getting GPS coordinates from web based maps

Yea I know "google earth"...

But honestly I dont want to download and install stuff (subscribe).

I screwed around with mapquest but their maps dont seem to give gps coords although you can search the maps by gps coords

Anyhow I thought maybe someone out there knows of a slick, hassle free way of determining my local coordinates.

Short of borrowing someones tomtom or whatever they are called these days.
