Hi everyone,
I need to find the Latitude and Longitude values for a moving vehicle from the Google Maps, using javascripts.
Can you give the sample code, please help me.

I don't think you can do that, because it is not your page.
And I haven't found a way to find longitude and latitude on Google Maps. They don't display it.
Terraserver displays longitude and latitude:
http://terraserver.microsoft.com
Google Earth displays longitude and latitude, but it is not a website, in the sense that it has it's own dedicated browser.

Look at google maps api - its geo coding service returns lat and long of a point if you feed in an address or postal code.

<?php
$geocode=file_get_contents('http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/json?address=Maharajas+College+Cochin&sensor=false');
$output= json_decode($geocode);
$latitude = $output->results[0]->geometry->location->lat;
$longitude = $output->results[0]->geometry->location->lng;
?>
