Anything that makes it easier is welcome.  (^&

In the U.S., you can go to, I believe, MapsOnUs.com and get it from your
street address.  Their information is pretty precise, though as I recall
it's a little inobvious how to get coords to display.  (Once they do,
clicking on the map to recenter a block or so away produces obvious
changes in the coords...)

Richard Grace informs me that in Australia, you can get coords from
the Charls Sturt University (http://life.csu.edu.au/geo/findlatlong.html
is the URL).
