I just noticed that Evidence Explained does have a section for:
Grave Markers: Rural, Citing by GPS on page 227. And it refers
to the QuickCheck Model for Grave Markers: Rural and Urban found
on pages 213 and 214. (2nd Edition, at least).

The advent of common GPS use, and free Internet software that
will pinpoint a GPS location, I think may make the directions
superfluous when GPS coordinates are given.

And in the sample GPS grave site citation I gave, I would now
generalize it to allow optional fields of section, lot, row,
when they are known.
