Google Maps provides quick and easy mapping as well as satellite and hybrid views for many areas of the world, but gives no coordinates. maps.google.com/
If you know the coordinates then use:
maps.google.com/maps?ll=lat,long&spn=0.1,0.1&t=k
.. replacing lat,long with the known coordinates, in degrees with decimal fractions (positive latitude = north of equator, positive longitude = east of prime meridian)
