I prefer using UTM instead of LatLong.  Legal descriptions, in the US that's
"section, township and range", have their place, but UTM is far more accurate.  

I have a template for use with a GPS and a topomap.  The "UTM Grid Reader" (tm)
cost me only a few bucks, and it has saved me MANY headaches.  Has ten different
map scales and a 360* clear protractor.  

I got mine through Miners, Inc. out of Idaho, and they are manufactured by The
C-Thru Ruler Company of Bloomfield Conn.

I am telling of this because it's a damn fine tool.  I receive no pay or
compensation of any sort for telling of this fine tool.
