Re: (meteorobs) Earth Positioning........



Greetings Bob,

     You'll find the following web site ---> http://www1.MapsOnUs.com/
very easy to use for determing your EXACT
location (Lat/Long).  It's free to register to this site and once your
registered, it will save your preferneces.
Hope you're successful.
