Thanks for the info.
Is this the right way to write UTM coordinates?

Dear Chris:
Jack Briles and I are crazy about our GPS units. I have a Garmin. He has a
Magellan.
Jack knows a lot more about these gadgets than I do, but he is a big fan of
using the UTM coordinates in lieu of the minutes & seconds, etc. I know
enough about mine to get it to give me UTM coordinates, but haven't learned
how to use the other amazing features.
Regardless of which you choose, when you get home with your readings, go to
www.topozone.com, type in your coordinates and BOOM! You've got a scalable
topographical map of the site. You will probably have to tweak the exact
placement of the red X on the map, but then you can copy-and-paste the URL
from your browser window and create an interactive link from your webpage on
the cemetery to the Topozone map. See many of my Clark County Cemeteries
pages for examples. Here's a sample:
