Finding your ancestors

A lot of people are into genealogy these days, and your GPS receiver can be a helpful tool in tracking your ancestors, whether they are Aztec people or Visigoths. When you visit a cemetery looking for long-lost kin, bring your GPS receiver with you to record the exact locations of tombstones and grave plots. You can pass the latitude and longitude on to other relatives doing their own genealogical research. The coordinates can be extremely useful for someone locating a small out-of-the-way cemetery in the countryside, or a relative buried in a cemetery with thousands of plots.
