gps??

I want a simple app or device I can use to get a 10 digit grid coordinate so I can mark my better finds and where I have searched. Then I need a computer program I can plot the points on and add notes to the points maybe even a picture. Any ideas on what I should use.

There is no such thing as a simple app or device with that degree of accuracy. Commercial GPS units are incapable of a repeatable accuracy greater than about 30 feet. That's about four decimal degrees of accuracy. You will need to buy a professional GPS system and subscription to get 10 digit accuracy.

Once you get the data points from your new $8,000 Trimble with the $2,400 annual subscription the best GIS program made is Qgis. It's a free program and although the learning curve is steep it is more than capable of doing what you ask.

Hope that helps.

What you need is a protractor and a real good map, and learn how to read the protractor and map
