I had always thought that it was the British who actually invented
Latitude and Longitude. It seems rather unnecessary to use anything else.

A lot easier to give your crew the Lat/Long they enter it
into your cars GPS Navigator (you may need to
provide help desk like instructions) hit the Go To button and the
friendly lady inside provides them with directions

G'day All,
Just came accross this book @ a Benalla servo: RACV Vicroads Country
Street Directory of Victoria. So I'm guessing that there is a simular
publication for the remaining states.
http://www.mapsdownunder.com.au/cgi-bin/mapshop/RACVIC7.html
The opening page is a grid reference of the entire state. What the
Brits do is have one of these books in the cockpit of the glider, and
another identical (important!) book in the trailer or with your
designated crew. Simply ask the farmer to point on the map where you
are, then relay the page number and grid reference to your crew and
let them sort out how they're going to get to you!
The advantage the Brits had was that they have their whole country in
one book! So you may need to (depending on where you live/fly at the
time) carry two books.
Just an idea,
WPP
