I was stopped while walking on a country road two weeks ago by a serviceman who was looking for precisely this. They had given him crude go-to-this-road-then-go-to-that-one coordinates, which turned out to be wildly inaccurate. Luckily, I knew what a CUE structure looked like and was able to direct him to the one nearest there, which was a good mile-and-a-half away from where his directions said it was. Believe me, this guy had nothing even close to a GPS. A Ford pickup, his cell phone and telecom gear. That was all. -- TeGGeR�
