#5 would not change after the searcher left the staging area so
might be unnecessary.<br>
<br>
Since the coordinates are used to record the track actually taken by
the searcher, the least significant digis are important. The group
with which I was affiliated for a couple of years used the 5 or 6
digits on their periodic reports back to the search coordinator. It
is important (for legal reasons post search) to be able to have the
most accurate track possible. LE (law enforcement, in the case of
New Hampshire, the Fish and Game Department) requires accurate
tracks to be archived.<br>
<br>
Have you considered addressing SAR groups with your proposals and
getting their input? It is one thing for a bunch of hams to come up
with a method; quite another to have something that actually would
be useful and acceptable to those with the boots on the ground.<br>
