Have you got an hour or ten?

Incidentally, I see Google Earth has added UTM to its system, which means you can do measures on the UTM grid and is extremely handy.

The UTM grid works by Eastings and Northings (always that order) which are Meters East and North on a local grid.


It means if you are surveying a building roughly you can switch your GPS to UTM E& N, and then basically plot out on a square m grid with no hassle converting between degrees and distances.
