Default GPS coords. vs. topo map

I've visited the TopoZone website a few times, and one of the interesting
features is that it will tell you the exact coordinates of a point you
select in the crosshairs. I'd been curious about how accurate that was
compared to my GPS, so yesterday I checked it. I selected an intersection
about a mile from my house, and plugged the TopoZone coordinates into the
GPS. On my next errand run, I drove through that intersection to see how
close the coordinates would correspond. The result, almost dead on. Pretty
cool.
