While caching around by the Medford Mall I found an old wallet. In it was a 2003 driver's license for one Ypatia Eloise Nie born March 12, 1959. I couldn't make out the address, West something, MN or perhaps MD or MI. There was some change too: three quarters, three nickels and three pennies; but that's not worth much.

Hints: added 1/7/12
Assume nothing: solution is of the form X XX°XX.XXX Y YY°YY.YYY.
Assume everything: i.e. all the details in the narrative are relevant. No red herrings.
Added 5/15/17: Replaced. It now is at the base of the <-> sign under a rock and pipe near the solution coordinates.
