        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:

Other sites dealing with GPS, UTM & Waypoints are:
