Tiger Maps
You can track most satellites without your exact latitude and longitude: At Heavens Above you can just enter your city or town and get good results. But if you want to observe Iridium flares, you need to pinpoint your location. U.S. observers can use the Tiger map service to find their exact latitude and longitude.
