Smelly Mo Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 Hi from North Georgia, y'all. Anybody know of a good online map site in which one can either plug in the street address or city name and get the LAT/LONG coordinates? I know that Mapquest allows the opposite (insert coords for location) but I'd really like the option to do both. Thanks! Quote
+Cornix Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 Here's a link to the US database of 'Heavens Above': http://www.heavens-above.com/selecttown.asp?CountryID=US The coordinates are in decimal degrees. Cornix Quote
+Kordite Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 mapsonus.com does that, sort of. Enter a street address and get a map. Then, when you click on a location on the map and it redraws, the bottom of the map will have the coordinates (in decimal degrees) of where you clicked. Kordite Quote
+CYBret Posted July 28, 2003 Posted July 28, 2003 Geocode works pretty well. It's a little funky to figure out how to use it, though. Go to the "Test drive" section and enter in your address. I've had very good luck with it....mostly. Once, on a trip to Chicago, it took us directly to the location I had entered. Another time, on a trip to St. Louis, it put us about 30 miles off.....but maybe I had the WAAS shut off. Bret "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field.
