Geographic coordinates (obtaining)
To obtain geographic coordinates of a place :
- Look at a good printed map or atlas, visit your library
- Use a GPS satellite navigator, if you have one
- Look at a website built by GPS users, e.g. http://geourl.org/ or http://www.findu.com/ or http://www.geocaching.com/
- Look for GPS "Waypoint" files
- Google for the city name together with "latitude", "longitude", which gives hits like http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001769.html
- Look at a map website, e.g. http://www.mapquest.com/ or http://www.yahoo.com/
- Look at a wiki that already uses map coordinates, e.g.http://susning.nu/
