Um, Cowboy?

Hows about a KML file output as well?  That's the interface to Google 
Earth's database / browser system that lets you locate not only on the 
map, but includes the overhead imagery to verify what you're looking at 
is where you think it is...

Not all areas have equally good image resolution, but most places the 
overheads are almost good enough to read license numbers......<wink>

It'd also let you verify those pesky prior points.....
