[pct-l] GPS or Not

[matt maxon]

Yes I like it... What he said

Going over a track or waypoint I recorded, returns me to that place and 
time......

A GPS location is the absolute BEST way to report the location of a 
trail maintenance issue. An accurate elevation reading and location 
description is OK too.

Photos are much appreciated too
