I purchased 10 acres and have the GPS coordinates of the corners. How can I locate the corners exactly without a surveyor? If I purchase a GPS unit from a sporting goods store will it help me? What is recommended? Thanks.

    you might get within 30 feet.

    You need the surveyor. A civilian GPS is good to within 10 meters without a differential GPS. ►BobB◄

    GPS accuracy can be as much as 100 feet off. If you want exact specifications, you need a surveyor. No other way. percival.sweetwater

    A regular GPS simply isn’t that accurate. Your title should have a description of your property. If you can find the approximate corners from this description you can look and see if you can find any corner stakes. Check for any kind of metal rod pounded into the earth. Borrow a metal detector or something. Don’t dig up the rods, just locate them. If you find them, they should be your property corners. wires
