The maps may not be, but some of the devices are. There have been a
couple of times where I used an APRS waypoint plotted on my GPS to
locate a balloon payload that was hidden by the landscape. An extra
digit of resolution would have helped.
You'd be amazed how easy it is to lose a white box with orange duct
tape - for instance, when it lands in a red clay field full of
blooming cotton. (: I gave up looking and just walked toward the
waypoint my D7 had plotted on the GPS to find it.
