Coordinator notes: I understand why many want to use GPS Coordinates but from my perspective those are unnecessary in my work, I have thousands and thousands of submissions to process for Bamona the the Season Summaries and actual localities tell me quickly what I need to know; and I personally don't use GPS unless its far away from any landmarks and its an extremely important records. And with common species, people don't go looking for them needing GPS: Canada and Alaska, yes GPS most of the time-Ken
