Could the fact that we were given GPS coordinates as a clue, mean that we will be receiving GPS coordinates, for positioning purposes, on the field? If so, the third coordinate would most likely be a height value. (Look at what is being used in Surveying and Construction these days. )
Just food for thought. |
Civilian GPS coordinants are only good to about 10 feet and GPS signals are notorious for dropping out in some structures (like a steel building) and in high EM areas.
