The (strongly) recommended procedure is to take a specific GPS measurement at a well-defined point and to write down the location on your prospecting survey notes. Then for a new discovery it will be copied onto the New Cave data sheet.

The altitude is not nearly as vital as the lat/long numbers. GPS altitudes are still pretty bad, and even the new Galileo system won't promise anything better than ± 0.4m in 2030. (If you take the altitude from a track while moving the altitude can easily be 15m wrong.)

The location of the cave is, eventually, stored in a survex file, just not the same survex file.

If you are doing this for the first time, don't bother with this *fix stuff. Just type the latitude & logitude numbers into the New Entrance form and someone else will do the *fix stuff. -

There is a lot more to say about how to record the best GPS data, and how to link GPS with survey points. See more on *fix.

Entering the cave description in the survex file

The last part of the survex file is a description of the passage surveyed. Remember
