I just checked in my last 2 books that I bought on the subject, still no GPS coordinate in those. I must have seen those on the Web while preparing the Christmas trip and didn't pay attention more than that since I have no GPS device.
To get GPS coordinate of petroglyph, it has to be maily in North America. As I said, the famous sites are relatively easy to find, it's the smaller sites that are hard to find. Roads with no panels, locals who have no clue what you're talking about or give you way too vague information, unmaintained trail that dissapear in the bushes or invisibe on the rocks, mistakes on handwritten maps print from the web, trees or bushes hiding the panels and so on. Often they are so faint you hardly see them. A GPS would be useful ad long as I find those coordinates. Anything cheap and easy to use will do the job. The GPS can be used also to find back where I left the car.
Michel,
So are petroglyphs a hobby of yours??
Finding your way back to the car is VERY important.
This is very similar to the unit i use. It well most likely serve your purposes.

in the next week or so I'll probably buy a new more sensitive unit for teh dense jungle - it's a few bucks more - but if it saves me a few hours of being lost in the jungle it's worth it
