Go to google earth, download free software http://earth.google.com
Go to main menu
Click on "add"
Click on "placemark"
Enter name eg "jay day 3 "
Enter Latitude and then longitude that I will provide.
(example I will give you LAT: 49.278215 N / LONG: 123.116215 W)
this will automatically convert to degrees, minutes and seconds for my exact location.
This will place a pin mark of where I am and revert back to the main picture of the globe
To zoom in to see the pin mark, double click on the globe once it appears.
This will zoom into my location.
Please try it out for fun - these coordinates above are my starting point in Vancouver.
