:I think it looks good too.  The only change I would make would be to make both the NAD27 and WGS84 UTMs optional.  I think it would be best to use the datum that goes with whatever NTS map sheet the hut is on.  For most maps, and thus most huts, the NAD 27 datum is used.  This way of thinking is more applicable to people who use paper maps rather than GPS receivers for navigation, but IMO anyone who owns a GPS should have a good enough understanding of datums to deal with this issue.  [[User:ScottN|Scott Nelson]] 09:48, 25 July 2007 (PDT)
