How can I find long/lat for a specific location on a map?

Factual Questions
1

I am looking for an online resource that will allow me to locate a spot on a map, then give me the longitude and latitude for it. I have tried TerraServer, but while it allows you to input long/lat to find a location, it won’t output a long/lat for locations found with other search functions. MapQuest is the same way, unless I am missing something. Is there a map website that does what I am looking for?

You know, I found one of those once, because I wanted to locate my own latitude and longitude for some satellite-tracking software I have, but I’ll be damned if I can find it now. I’ll keep looking.

If you’re in the US, Topozone will do it. Once you have found your location, check the button marked “D/M/S” below the map (or “DD.DDDD” if you want the coordinates in decimal format). It’s a cool site.

Thanks guys, I liked r_k’s link better, as I could get either decimal or d/m/s. Now I can properly aim my TV roof antenna!
