There are a number of options to get the GPS coordinates:
1) Lower confidence (but probably good enough). Use [Goolge Maps, etc] to get
the GPS coordinates of the corners of buildings. Record those so whenever you
re-import a plan (due to remodels) you are using the same coordinates for the

guess based on our testing).
