Does anyone know an online World Wide coordinate locator. I want to input a lat long and have it show me a general map of the location. Preferably free. I tried google but got tired of sifting through all the returns. Perhaps Blair would know if he actually reads this post.

I used to use the Maptech servers hosted by one site or another. Now Maptech apparently lets you use their server for free on their own site. Unfortunately, the ability to zoom in on eastern maps is pretty poor. For instance, to get a nautical chart of Iraq you'd enter: 33.345 lat and 44.423 long, but you can't get a good close-up. But for Western maps they do a little better. For instance, to see a topo map of my area, I'd enter: 38.76674 lat and -77.14170 long and then I can zoom in on the ... gravel pit? ... in which I live. Ok, well this map appears to be a bit outdated, but you get the idea.

Mostly though, I use Microsoft Streets & Trips software for my GPS coordinate to map conversions.
