Default Convert street address to GPS coordinates?

Is there a Web site where one can enter a street address and get back the
GPS coordinates of that location? Free would be good.

Thanks.

Walter

No such thing. You are looking for latitude and longitude.

WGS84 is not a coordinate system.

I use a combination of google earth and google maps to get me pretty close,
but I don't know of a software program that has that good of a database
yet.
