Most GPS receivers have a setting to use other datum. In the case of Golgotha, probably NAD27 (or some other datum). Or alternately, Randy could have just converted the datum. There are well established algorithms to perform these conversions.<br /><br />I would be interested to know what the likely error would be in using 1944 celestial tools to determin coordinates.Jeff in Calgaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00983710447552608414noreply@blogger.com
