On iPhone and iPad, how to get the latitude and longitude number from the Maps app or Google Maps app

google mapsmaps

For example, on a desktop computer, if I enter in Google Maps website:

Golden Gate Park, San Francisco, CA

I can easily get in the URL

37.769425,-122.48840

If I use the Maps app or Google Maps app, is there a way to get the latitude and longitude number easily?
