> that is cool, how are you finding the coords with an address? > is this software avail easy? There is plenty of software around, but the easiest (and free) way is to use a web site. I like http://www.maporama.com. It's not the most intuitive interface, and it's European-oriented, but you can get coordinates for many countries outside the US. I'm sure other posters will list other map sites. Steve Team Tierra Buena
