[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 956168, member: 6452"] I see to do a significant amount of mapping for work. Ah the gold old days now they've stuck me indoors to sign purchase orders and run budgets. UTM can certainly be easier to visualize distances between features as everything is in yards. The one issue is when you are near a new something's don't always line up. California being such a long state has portion a of three zones which made things interesting. Any GPS unit or GIS program worth its salt should convert the display units to the coordinate system you choose. 20 years ago that was the voodoo portion of map making. Being able to coordinate layers in multiple units and datums. Now it's all plug and play. [/QUOTE]
