geolocation

I've looked high and low for an answer on this, and no one, in any forum question has been able to help. I've searched through the tutorials. The API Guide says: The My Location button appears in the top right corner of the screen only when the My Location layer is enabled.

Using GDAL in Python, how do you get the latitude and longitude of a GeoTIFF file? GeoTIFF's do not appear to store any coordinate information. Instead, they store the XY Origin coordinates. However, the XY coordinates do not provide the latitude and longitude of the top left corner and bottom left corner. It appears I will need to do some math to solve this problem, but I don't have a clue on where to start. What procedure is required to have this performed? I know that the GetGeoTransform() method is important for this, however, I don't know what to do with it from there. fmark To get the
