You can zoom down to a street and get Lat/Long here:
http://www.juggling.org/bin/un.cgi/map-find or here
http://tiger.census.gov/cgi-bin/mapbrowse
Lat/Lon is located under the map, below the zoom and direction buttons. You
can zoom down to street level on these maps from the census bureau.

A pretty good site with yellow pages phone lookups as well as lat/long (to see
lat/long, click on the map):
http://www.mapsonus.com
You can type in your address here (good to .5 seconds):

And while you're at it, you can determine the magnetic declination of your
Lat/Long here:
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/seg/gmag/fldsnth1.pl
Get magnetic declination from here:

Variation: Here is a lookup system from NOAA
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/seg/gmag/fldsnth1.plOr
Here is a bunch of links to various resources>>>>
http://www.mapfacts.com/compass/declination.aspHere is a map of the US
declinations.
http://www.spacecom.com/Customer_Tools/magnetic_deviation_map.htm
Here's a site that computes magnetic variation for any date.

Here's another site as well:
http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/seg/gmag/fldsnth1.pl
This next one says it's good only through the year 2000 but it works for 2001
as well: (Good in Europe as well as N. America)

http://www.cam.org/~gouletc/decl_faq.html This one has links to world
Magnetic Maps.
Isogonic maps are available at
http://www.geo-orbit.org/sizepgs/magmapsp.html
You can always convert degrees, minutes, and seconds to decimal degrees or
vice versa using a simple calculator, but, if you need it, you can use the
following for Lat/Long conversions: www.directionsmag.com/latlong.asp
This site not only gives latitude and longitude of thousands of towns and
cities worldwide but also their elevations in feet and metres, a weather
forecast, and a map!

Yes - it's an *astrology* site (heaven forbid!) - but it does have an
excellent *worldwide* city/town/village lookup (not just the USA, to the
nearest minute of latitude and longitude.

A good site which may have even better features in future is:
