Original Question:
I need some help from the list to find a web based tool that will allow me to enter coordinates - preferably decimal degrees - and have the location plotted. Sort of like Maporama.com in reverse. Does anyone know of such a tool?
Responses:
I had three suggestions, as follows...
Sonny Parafina suggested http://redspider.us/studio/ - easy to use, very slow to load, no roads in Canada, therefore not useful
Hylan L Beydler suggested The National Map viewer at nmviewogc.cr.usgs.gov/viewer.htm - quicker than the one above, much more time consuming to find the place to enter coordinates, still no roads in Canada
Allan Harris suggested http://www.epa.gov/tri , but I was not successful in finding a way to enter lat and long and from what I read I suspect it, too, will only have US roads.
Thanks for the suggestions, but I am still looking.
