There is also the empirical method...

With all of the affordable handheld GPS systems on the market right now you could figure out the answer the fun way - by walking there. In fact, there is a whole eco/geek-friendly sport centered around it called Geocaching.

I've found it to be a great excuse to get away from the computer every once in a while. I spend far too much time with a keyboard under my fingers...
