Website/Program to determine the moon's position in the sky based on my location?

If I wasn't clear enough: I need to know the position of the moon (North, South, etc.) based on my location (address preferred, but I can do long/lat).  Simply giving me the phase is not enough, I need position!  Thanks

Stellarium is a free open source planetarium for your computer. It
shows a realistic sky in 3D, just like what you see with the naked eye,
binoculars or a telescope.

This is what I use.  It is a great program, very easy to use and very detailed. This program allows you to enter your co-ordinates for your exact location to give you exact location of sun, moon and stars.

Asker's Rating:
• Thanks a bunch! The program worked flawlessly and gave me exactly what I needed (and it's multi-platform, another plus). Many thanks!

Stellarium is a free open source planetarium and it should be able to track the position of the moon

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it! I found the Stellarium program a little easier to navigate and use, however.
