The question does a beautiful job of presenting decimal degrees, but then neglects to mention
whether the latitude is north or south, and whether the longitude is east or west.
Consequently, instead of pinning down the location to within 0.7 miles of an exact point on earth,
the question only pins it down to one of four possible points.
As you'll see, the missing details do make a difference.
Possible Point #1:
34.07° NORTH
118.39° WEST
Beverly Hills, California, on the block bounded by N. Oakhurst Dr., Dayton Way, N. Doheny Dr., and Clifton Way.
(Actually, coincidentally, less than 1.2 miles from my son and his family, on S. Beverly Dr. near Alcott.)
Possible Point #2:
34.07° NORTH
118.39° EAST
Eastern China, about 140 miles north northwest of Nanjing.
Possible Point #3:

118.39° WEST
South Pacific Ocean, about 2,250 miles southeast of Papeete, Tahiti, and 2,700 miles west of Santiago, Chile.
Possible Point #4:
34.07° SOUTH
118.39° EAST
Southwest corner of Australia, about 70 miles northeast of Albany, and 210 miles southeast of Perth.
