Ok, I have added long/lat (copy+paste from the google link)
You'll need to zoom a long way in, otherwise the google link will probably be for one edge of the screen, not the centre
Whats the easiest way to gather this information?
GPS?
Can't OpenGuides process the address fields?
"process" the address fields? What did you have in mind it processing them against? (I don't know of any free services where you give them an address, and they give you back a lat+long)
Geocoder.us does this for the US. Google and Yahoo offer this for the world, with typical limitations on use. MetaCarta offers a service which will allow you to do this, but the license is non-commercial and the API is not supported.
It's not impossible, but it's not 'Free' in the sense that OpenGuides typically is.
