Question

How can I look up specific Latitude and Longitude values.?

Answer 1

For what place and use?

If you want them for a place such as a city, many gazetteers list lat. and long., and most good world atlases include a gazetteer.

Another way is to get a good map, in the US a topographic sheet, locate the place for which you want the information and work it out from the map.

If you are in a place and want its coordinates, most GPS units now have the ability to return the location in lat. and long.

Answer 2

Download Google Earth and you can get latitude, longitude and elevation.

Answer 3

You can use this free website:

Just type a place name, post code/zipcode, and you get a fairly acurate latitude and longitude.

You can move the map too to get the exact location.
