Where to get lat/long data on the web?

Topozone.com used to dynamically display lat/long coordinates on their maps which you could access for free.

http://tiger.census.gov/cgi-bin/mapsurfer

the lat/long coordinates seem to be in decimal form though so you'll probably want to convert them to deg/min/sec

Thanks ziliu.  Another site is http://www.terraserver.com .

For those sites that show coordinates in decimal form (not sure if those are usuable in the scenery XML fie?) you can convert them to deg/min/sec at this site:  http://www.fcc.gov/mb/audio/bickel/DDDMMSS-decimal.html

Haven't tried it yet but it looks fairly self-explanatory.
