Hi Larry,
I use http://www.topozone.com quite a bit. After I've located my general
area, I usually select the features 1:25000 and LARGE at the top of the
map. At the bottom you can choose to display UTM coordinates, decimal
degrees or deg/min/sec. I usually use the latter. At the bottom of the
page you can read the latitude and longitude to the second as you move the
cursor around. You just have to find your exact QTH on the map and put
the cursor on it.
I often use this for hilltopping microwave operations when I need a
6-character grid square or even a 12-character grid square. It's just a
matter of finding the hilltop on the map. The topo elevation contours
make that simple.
For anyone planning a bombing run, my home QTH is at 40 deg 06 min 19 sec
N, 88 deg 11 min 45 sec W. :-)
73, Zack W9SZ
