Well, google maps includes latitude/longitude, but it's not easy to get 
these values from the map (although google maps API provides this 
ability). It's a pity, because the contrary is easy, ie it's very easy 
to search a place using lat/long.

This website allows to get these values from google map :

One can also use maporama :

But latitude/longitude are not very precise (only °, minutes).
