How do I find the GPS coordinates for the property?
You may choose to shoot the coordinates with a personal GPS unit with the following settings:
  • Location Format – UTM UPS
  • Map Datum – NAD83

If you do not have a GPS unit available, you may also locate your property / structure on Google Maps, Bing Maps, and ArcGIS Explorer for the coordinates. If you are not familiar with these programs, you may also search on the internet for assistance with the location of coordinates.
