[Geysers] GPS coordinates

[Dave TAYLOR]

A couple of thoughts:

1)  How is the GPS coord. to be determined?  Is there a standard point
in relation to a feature that it would be at?  Or are they just points
at which the feature can be easily determined?
(There's-a-hot-pot-in-front-of-me-so-this-must-be-it idea).  It wouldn't
matter to the casual observer, but some kind of uniformity would be more
handy for technical analysis.

2)  I would imagine part of the question of including or not including
GPS points in the book would be to protect those features against
vandalism.  Perhaps a good middle road between providing the information
and protecting the features would be to make the list available to GOSA
members rather than put it in the book.  It could be part of a 'members'
section on the website, for instance.  (I know I haven't touched the
website yet, but don't let that dillute the arguement- it's possible). 
Pros and cons both ways, too numerous to discuss here.

Thanks,
Dave Taylor
