Google will give you sites. Put your location then longitude and have a look through the search hits.

Hi Biffo.

:welc1: to the forum

I'm assuming that you're in England based on your IP address, so you can use Streetmap.co.uk

Punch in your postcode, and then when the map is displayed click where indicated on the attached example.

Hi Biffo,

If your trying to get the 'correct' angle's to line up a dish from knowing you lat and long then I found this site useful to get the line of sight angles.

Hope it's of use
