Thanks, all.
I have an unmarked, tiny, family cemetery, the location of
which is currently known to fewer than a dozen living
beings. I want to get the lat/lon on record somewhere in my
data so that 50 or 60 years from now after my cousin and I
lose touch my side of the family can find it again.
We were talking at a party t'other night and turns out none
of us have a GPS unit that will allow us to RETRIEVE the
lat/lon afterward. All will show us the point we marked,
all will provide driving directions, all _record_ the
lat/lon for internal use, but NONE would let us see it a 2nd
time.
