I like Jimmy Ray's suggestions, here.
So far, Paul has been doing a good job on the maps, IMHO....
As far as the "deg-min-sec" question, why not put the coordinates >in
all three systems< at the bottom of the maps, in a little table. Also
include the elevation (in both imperial - feet - and metric units, just
to please everybody.....) ?
Remember, ya gotta tell which geod system the coordinates are in, too --
NAD27 (topo maps) or WGS84 (GPS).
Thanks again, Paul, and try not to think of this as a pack of critics....

... Or you simply combine a little of a couple of ideas that have been
forwarded. Yes the five mile meadow star party was held at the antenna site
so why not have a standard star party name followed by the site such as..
"All Arizona Star Party" at "Arizona City's Farnsworth ranch" (I know it's
an EVAC event)
"The SAC Summer Sizzle Star Party" at "What ever the real name Butte's Five
Mile meadow" OR What ever site it happens to wind up at.
"The SAC Schwaar Memorial Star Gaze" at "Sentinel's Schwaar Field"
"The All Arizona Messier Marathon" at "Arizona City's Farnsworth ranch"
"The SAC Spring Star Spectacular" at "Hovattar Road's Antenna Site" (Yes I
made that one up)
This way the event and the location are separate so a location change is no
big deal. Also you have the real site name tied to the "Pet" name we gave
it..
