I entered my address into Yahoo maps and it was off by 12 houses. I would
suggest printing a satellite map and ask him to show you his house. That way he
know what his house will look like for the air. Most people have a hard time
id'ing there house from the air.


Yahoo maps works pretty similar. Punch in the address... Click "go"
The URL contains the lat and long in itself.

For Instance:
1600 Pennsylvania, Washington, DC on Yahoo Maps comes back to

http://maps.yahoo.com/#mvt=m&q1=1600...8.898548&mag=3


see the "&lon=-77.037206&lat=38.898548&" in the middle of all that?

By the way.. I highly recommend you do not try to fly to that particular
coordinate unless you like seeing F-16's in slow flight formation with
you...
