Glad that you joined hands with us to improve OSM. Yahoo and Landsat are the
only good primary source of free satellite imageries. Other services have
licensing issues and hence we are not supposed to use them.

If you just want to find the Lat/Lon there are online services for this like
http://www.satsig.net/maps/lat-long-finder.htm
But I have not tried this nor used this for any kind of mapping.
