UTM for such descriptions and Lat/Lng for mapping using on-line mapping services, like: http://maps.google.com/?q=GGFather's+Grave@53.846395,-3.021857&t=k&z=19 Such mapping services may also have an inaccuracy of a few feet in places like Europe and the USA (and considerably greater inaccuracies in countries which are not accurately surveyed) and the error varies each time there's a new release of the imagery, so you'll still need a description. -- Mike Williams Gentleman of Leisure
