go to Satellite Finder / Dish Pointing Calculator with Google Maps | DishPointer.com and enter your address and it will give your exact co-ordinates.a minus on longitude is West.there is no real need to go past the 1st decimal place unless your box demands it.the lat should match that set on motor and be correct for your location,only then adjust the motor/dish.
