Benchmark Map Search

[+judosquash]

We should be able to search for benchmarks via google maps, just like a geocache. If we stumble across one or use one in conjunction with a cache find, it is difficult to track it down since BMs are not listed with titles or exact locations. I have a few that I had found during cache finds, but can not locate them on the list of BMs to log them as finds. Thoughts?

Monkeykat has written a program which uses Google Maps to locate any benchmark in the US. Check out his link:

There is a program called DSWORLD, that links the NGS survey/benchmarks data with GoogleEarth

it shows a visual location and a link to the data sheet.

However, There is no connection to a log for geo-cachers.
