I've found, for locations in the United States at least, a great source for lat/lon information on the interactive maps at URL: http://www.etakguide.com/ Put in your street address, or a zip code that's close to your location, then zoom in until you find the spot you're interested in. Toggle the lat/lon option and point to the place on the map, and Presto! you get a precise position...
