Why not use a tape measure? GPS isn't as accurate as a tape measure
when measuring known boundaries.

Sounds like he might want to peep on a neighbor sunbathing in the
buff.......:-)

I wonder if he wants to take those nice overhead
designs that landscape designers make and give
it a personal touch by using the real items, like
the real hardscape and whatnot. Either way, it
seems more trouble than it's worth, since you can
probably get the gps data at the local county office,
and probably an overhead shot of the neighborhood
if you go to a utility that's done work in the area
lately.
