no gps/need hm coordinates

[dale hollow lake]

I have a friend wanting to know if there is a site on line by using his home address to get his home place coordinates, His house has been buit in the last 7 years ?

 

I was thinking google earth but didnt know those steps

Yes google Earth will work - zoom in on his address and look toward the bottom of the screen and you will see coordinates. They are reported as decimal degrees so will have to convert to decimal minutes for the site - try the utility at jeeep.com.

This site will convert an address to lat/long.

Fine for the U.S. - outside, try maporama.com

Google maps will do it as well. Center on your desired location, and then click the "Link to this page" link in the upper right of the map and in that url are the lat/long (in decimal). I've done this many times to enter the lat/long into my gps of a place I'm going after finding it in google.

GPS Visualizer's "Quick Geocoder" will do non-North American addresses, as long as it's in a country that Google has data for: http://www.gpsvisualizer.com/geocode
