Just for those who do not know, there is a map on the Internet with the
possibility to find locations by coordinates or deduce the coordinates for a
known location. The values seem rather accurate. Asbjorn's coordinates
correspond to
http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?lat=63.4233&lon=10.4117&scale=50000&icon=x
It also should be mentioned that there do exist some differences between
GPS, European and other national mapping coordinates. Some maps do indicate
this difference.
