Finding exact latitude and longitude of a place?

I need to find the exact longitude and latitude of my classroom. I would use google maps, except for the fact that the picture is so old it doesn't have my school on it! Where do I go from here? (this is due tomorrow by the way)Finding exact latitude and longitude of a place?
You can try terraserver.com but looking at my house it appears to be using the same image as Google Earth is which was taken on 1/1/07. Update - just zoomed out a little on terrasever and hit the Imagery drop down and found an image from 5/25/2008. Its a little slower than GE but has Lats and Longs hopefully this will helpFinding exact latitude and longitude of a place?

Then click on the name, and choose one of the maps to the right. If none of those have it, you could still estimate the position of your classroom.Finding exact latitude and longitude of a place?
Download Google earth and locate the place. You will get exact figures of latitude and longitude of the place.
