[Nhcoll-l] Google Earth fix?

[Callomon,Paul]

It is always going to be a problem for geolocation in older collections that folks in the not-even-too-distant past had no more accurate way of localizing themselves in nature than a compass and maybe mile-markers on a road; and of course, as happens today, many would have recalled and recorded their collecting sites somewhat after the fact.
Vagueness in, vagueness out.
