Reply to "GPS coordinates on maps"

Given the fact that consumer GPS units have an absolute position error of over 1 meter, the NAD83 and WGS84 datums can be considered identical. There is no reason to switch between the two, and measurers can use either on their maps.
I don't think it's clear at all that including the datum used for GPS coordinates on our maps will prevent more problems than it causes. So I don't think there should be a requirement to do so.
