- real paper maps and charts still exist and lots of people still use
them! They usually have latitude and longitude scales.
- Navigation
software - well-known navigation packages such as Microsoft's Autoroute and Streets & Trips, Route 66 and others will tell you
the latitude and longitude of any point on the map.
- GPS
device - if you have a GPS device but can't connect it to your
computer, or your can't connect your computer to the internet, it will
still tell you your position. In addition to the GPS you can usually
plug it into your computer or PDA and run navigation programs like GPSS, Navio or TomTom.
