Epodunk will give you coordinates for a number of U.S. place names free. Seems to be biased towards East Coast, historical community sites. Good for cemeteries. TerraServer-USA gives lat/long for the U.S., and is clickable (you click on the map and it gives you the lat/long of the recentered map, to a certain degree of precision). NASA World ...
Open Location Code is a way of encoding location into a form that is easier to use than showing coordinates in the usual form of latitude and longitude. Plus codes are designed to be used like street addresses and may be especially useful in places where there is no formal system to identify buildings, such as street names, house numbers, and ...
EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset (also EPSG registry) is a public registry of geodetic datums, spatial reference systems, Earth ellipsoids, coordinate transformations and related units of measurement, originated by a member of the European Petroleum Survey Group (EPSG) in 1985.
Briefly, an example of a full USNG spatial address (grid reference) is: 18S UJ 23371 06519 (This example used by the FGDC is the full one-meter grid reference of the Jefferson Pier in Washington DC.) [10] This full form (15 characters) uniquely identifies a single one-meter grid square out of the entire surface of the earth.
Address geocoding, or simply geocoding, is the process of taking a text-based description of a location, such as an address or the name of a place, and returning geographic coordinates, frequently latitude/longitude pair, to identify a location on the Earth's surface. [1]
Coordinate values (latitude, longitude, and altitude) should be delimited by spaces. The decimal point is a part of the value, thus must usually be configured by the operating system. [a] Multiple locations should be represented by multiple lines. Latitude and longitude should be displayed by sexagesimal fractions (i.e. minutes and seconds).
The World Geodetic System (WGS) is a standard used in cartography, geodesy, and satellite navigation including GPS.The current version, WGS 84, defines an Earth-centered, Earth-fixed coordinate system and a geodetic datum, and also describes the associated Earth Gravitational Model (EGM) and World Magnetic Model (WMM).
