I'm relatively new to this list (and astronomy), and I thought maybe 
someone could help me.  How can I find out my exact position on Earth 
without the use of GPS hardware - in other words is there a web site 
(or other reference) available? The only position data I have now is 
an approximate location for Kokomo, Indiana (USA) - the coordinates 
being:  40 d 31 m 42 s - North Lat., 86 d 3 m 30 s - W Long.  Since I 
actually live southwest of town (outside the city limits), is there a 
more precise way of determining where I am?  I have a great viewing 
location most of the time.  Thanks in advance.
