GPS coordinates

With the advent of GPS and with the lack of good street ID and the disorganized pattern of the street system, GPS allows us to find those many places that are hard to locate. While many places can be located on Google Maps and the coordinate entered into your GPS so that it can take you there, there are many locations that I cannot find on Google. It would be useful to me if we could start a forum (if a blog is better tell me) listing the coordinates of places we know that are of interest but are hard to find.

Please advise me. I will start with a posting of the coordinates in my GPS if there is an interest.

I need the coordinates of a good general hardware store...

Wikimapia and Google Earth (Community Submitted Content) are good sources for coordinates...

I think it's a wonderful idea. I can also post coordinates for some places. Why don't you create a forum for it?

Google map:

25°17'6.34"N, 51°31'46.79"E

Search that area, lots of hardware stores...

Yes that sounds like a super idea. I also have coordinates for some areas that I have been to. Don't know of any good hardware stores here myself
