If you aren't doing so yet, use UTM coordinates instead of LAt/Lon. Pencil in the grid marks on your map using those blue tick marks and even if you don't have a template card it's not too hard to eyeball your approximate location. ------- On the off chance I'm not the only dummy who doesn't really know what UTM is, here's a couple of sites that explain it: http://www.nps.gov/prwi/readutm.htm http://www.prusik.com/maptools/ Other sites dealing with GPS, UTM & Waypoints are: http://www.cnde.iastate.edu/staff/swormley/maps/maps_waypoints.html http://vancouver-webpages.com/pub/peter/mapprogs.txt *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Tue Apr 06 1999 - 08:09:15 PDT
