Summary: Way to find lattitude / longitude.


     Something that I found useful in the past.  To try to find
your exact lattitude or longitude, call the local airport.  They
have their exact location (it gets published in pilot's
navigational guides).  That, plus the fudge factors listed in the
instructions and a local map, should enable you figure your exact
location.  I computed mine based on the figures quoted for
National Airport in Washington DC.
