Using GPS to locate property lines

[Rob Tucker]

I have seen some inexpensive GPS equipment ($100?) for sale and want to know if I took readings at the property pins could I then find any point along the property line? I don't need accuracy to a centimeter. Within a few feet would be fine.

I know where the property corners are but the woods are too dense to make a line of sight observation. There are some old cane roads crossing the property and I want to figure out where the property line crosses these roads.

I guess I am basically wondering if the retail GPS gear is actually useful or basically junk.

Thanks in advance.
