I never had to read a map with lat lng points before, maybe in high school. So, say I want to go 0.1 miles (one block) NW in a straight line from where my address marker is, what is the offset I have to reduce or add to lat and lng marker points? Is there a conversion cart or somewhere you can point me too, in order, to get my answer? Seems like pretty basic stuff, once I know the offset.
