beautifully done maestro

so
we need only learn the true coords
& then pursue our point with gps receivers


but do they mention the level of exactitude of the coords

if they were done in 1994
i would suppose centimetric to millimetric

so we already have something of a target


hmm
but i wonder how much a correspondingly precise gps receiver
would cost
even just to rent for a day
