Try this:
Go to http://tiger.census.gov/cgi-bin/mapbrowse-tbl/

Scroll down and enter precise map coordinates...or close ...

then zoom to better define your location and move it to the center of the
map field.

This is my QTH:
http://tiger.census.gov/cgi-bin/mapsurfer?infact=2&outfact=2&act=move&tlevel
=-&tvar=-&tmeth=i&mlat=&mlon=&msym=bigdot&mlabel=&murl=&lat=29.5847416&lon=-
95.1932831&wid=0.007&ht=0.007&conf=mapnew.con&map.x=221&map.y=170




Here's another:

Go to http://www.yahoo.com

Select the Maps link under the search field textbox.

Type in your street address, city, state, zip (you may only need address and
zip, I haven't tried that).

This is my QTH:

http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?BFCat=&Pyt=Tmap&addr=12610+barbizon+drive&c
ity=Houston&state=TX&slt=29.584800&sln=-95.193900&zip=77089-6506&country=us&
