I volunteer with the local Search & Rescue. We've recently switched from NAD 27 to Utm CODES.....If someone is lost/hurt and call in their Lat/Long, I can sit at the computer in the Command post and convert it.
There are new standards coming out for SAR, all switching to UTM is just a matter of time...
What I do when out snowmobiling and dirt biking, is mark my points on the GPS at times and give them names I'll remember. Example, We have a hard to find local "secret trail" to drop into a canyon. I just marked the spot and named it: "Drop over the side". G'luck.
