I use the computer program called "Encarta 96 World Atlas" to find the long
and lat of each city. It really works neat.

All I have to do is type in the beginning part of the city's name and it
automatically brings up all the possibilities. Then with a click of the
mouse a map comes up on the screen with that city in its center. When I
place my cursor on that city a lat/long box automatically shows me the
correct lat/long....

It is very comprehensive. There have only been a couple of places that I
couldn't find and I suspect that is because of a typo in the names....
It is made by Microsoft.
