So one thing that Jaden didn't cover in depth in this article is that finding the actual corner can be tough. Mapping systems can be off by 10-15 feet and that is 10-15 feet of trespassing. Unless there is a spike at the corner it's going to be tough, the reason those guys were able to prove this out in court is the marker was present. Unfortunately this may lead to a LOT more trespassing cases.

I would think that would be up to the landowner to prove property lines if they are that worried about trespassing?

Depends on how the state’s trespass law reads.
A few years ago Idaho changed theirs, so now it’s up to the hunter to know the boundaries.

Lots of states are doing this. Especially since GPS are now so cheap and there are many programs out there that tell where you are and who owns the land...public & private.

One problem with the GPS land quadrants is that they may be off just enough to confuse people. I can stand on one of my corner stakes and both of my mapping devices show it slightly off. One is OnX on my phone and the other is the chip in my GPS.

But both show it close enough that I need to pay attention as to where I'm at.
