Free GPS Guidance

My wife and I recently moved from a townhouse in the city to a rustic cabin in the woods. A few of our friends were skeptical about this “downgrade” because our new home lacks the square-footage and desirable urban location of our old one. But they fail to consider the huge swath of property that came along with the new residence. I’m already doing some amateur surveying in preparation for some ambitious additions.

The first few times I surveyed the land, I almost got lost. It’s tough to find distinctive landmarks in a densely wooded forest. Luckily, my wife got me a handheld GPS unit at a GPS store to take with me in case I lose my way. It also comes in handy for informal mapping. I can easily tell where the property begins and ends, which has expedited the surveying process tremendously.
