I looked on Google Maps to see if I could figure out how to do it...but there didn't seem to be any way to put that information in. Does anyone know of an online method for finding the exact location if someone has given you the latitude and longitude?

I think you just put it the address line at google maps.

You can also use Mapquest

http://atlas.mapquest.com/maps/latlong.adp

I tried putting it in the "Search" box on google maps and got nothing. What format?

Thanks on the Map Quest link...I was able to find it using that...I just don't understand why the google maps is not working for me.

Put in something like this into the google maps search "45.151 64.202"

Edited to correct

2nd Edit:

It looks like you can also put it in a format like this: +47° 19' 3.60", +34° 18' 7.20"

It looks like you can do that as well, by putting in something similar to the following:

+47° 19' 3.60", +34° 18' 7.20"

number, number

eg. 38.9, -77.0 - you can increase or decrease the precision with more decimal places
