Reply to "GPS coordinates on maps"

I keep hearing about "no nearby landmarks". Sometimes that's really true but if you're in or near woods it helps to know trees and try to tie split points to some trees that you can pick out. I think GPS coordinates are a great way to get you pretty close but 17 ft past a 4-foot diameter sycamore can pin it down. Best to get a few such references for each point. One tree could be struck by lightning or go down in a storm but maybe they won't all disappear.
Doesn't always work, I know. But it helps.
