Another very good mapping program that includes Lat/Lon measuring =
capability is the Delorme Street Atlas USA.  It is a great program and =
well worth the price, but like the Microsoft program it covers the US =
only.

  If anyone knows of any other sites from which ones coordinates can be =

  please let me know and I'll add a link to my site.
