RE: GPS point coverages

Here's a neat way to create maps of GPS point features such as barns, houses, springs, sinkholes, cemeteries, etc. Two maps - one for natural features and another for man made features - are helpful. You can display one or both on top of your deeds. A Deedmapper background map (streams, roads, etc.) is necessary for this to work

Append a 'dummy' deed, add GPS points, and then enter one metes and bounds item e.g. Pt [blank] Ln n; p;. You must enter something for "Ln." See sample below.
