Google Maps pushes Plus Codes instead, they appear for every location:

https://maps.google.com/pluscodes/

But normal co-ords also appear for me when I long tap anywhere

It's a disappointing experience, isn't it? You can only get a raw lat/long if Maps can't generate an address. If it does, you're out of luck for lat/long -- it's gone from the UI as far as I can see.

Actually, it does in fact "show" lat/long in the Search field. But there is no way to copy it to the clipboard! The field is replaced with the resolved address as soon you touch the field in any way. You have to, and I can't believe I'm saying this, either screenshot or use a pen to write it down.

Got it. You have to press and hold to get to the "non-Google" standard info. Thanks for the pointer!
