I'm not exactly sure how that works either although I have been contemplating trying it out as I have been searching for a family vault and graveyard that was abandoned centuries ago and doesn't seem to be off any road and probably in the middle of a field with of a herd of cows. This vault is noted on a Discovery Ordnance Survey Map which include the bearings (longitude & Latitude) that you would need. Of course a private home is not likely to be on these maps but if it was near a church of graveyard or any other building of importance they could be on the map.
