Recording Longitudes and Latitudes

Dick Eastman's blogged today about the importance of recording latitudes and longitudes in addition to place names.

One paragraph caught my attention. He says, "I have written about finding cemeteries and other locations of genealogical interest by using GPS receivers. Shouldn’t we be recording the exact latitude and longitudes of those cemeteries into our genealogy databases? Perhaps the cemetery’s location alone isn’t enough. Should we record the exact location of the ancestor's tombstone?"

Of course, this is exactly what BillionGraves does, so it's neat how events come together to emphasize a point.
