Default Latitude Longitude Finder

Hi,
I am trying to find accurate co-ordinates for Meloneras in Gran
Canaria but most web searches come up with US sites only. Does anyone
have any URL's?
Thanks

Ian

Is Maspalomas close enough? Heavens Above
http://www.heavens-above.com/countries.asp lists it as latitude 27.750
longitude -15.567.

Not that precise, but try picking the spot from this map:

and read the latitude and longitude from the Map Information panel under
the map graphic.
