K1TTT said: However, even for laying out an 80m 4-square its no where near
accurate enough.
KA1NCN replied: I was hoping that you would not say that. Alas, you are
correct.
The other thing that I think that Google would be good for would be plotting
the dimensions of antennas. So, even if a GPS won’t give you precise results,
Google could tell you what ground features need to be "accommodated" in setting
up an antenna. I realized that when I was planning our FD site (see
http://tinyurl.com/6bnb3c for Google map), I should probably have oriented the
vertical arrays with a lot more precision in advance, rather than waiting to
get to the site and break out a compass.
