This is very cool indeed.
We can also do the same thing in reverse. If I am at a location off the
grid, say in the middle of campus or lost in the woods, I can get the
lat/lon using the Y command and then give that to a person trying to find
me.
We had a less diar use for this years ago in Dublin when a bunch of us were
in wsearch of good pubs and the maps weren't very good yet in Ireland. We
had two way radios and when we found a happy hour at a certain pub, we just
radioed our position to the others and suddenly that pub had 30 blind people
descending upon it.

Great post Sue, for some reason I guess it was because you sent this, I
remembered back to my one and only visit to CSUN in 2009 when we went to
dinner with Mike, the sendero crowd, which also included you and Bob and
Stevie! Then were fun times! Best, Jim

Bob had an appointment to do some training at UCLA today. A friend dropped
him off at the dorms, and he left a few hours later via paratransit. There
are only a few places where they will pick you up on campus, and of course
in the wisdom of the bureaucrats who make such decisions, none of the stops
are very close to the dorms. His pickup was to be at the flagpole near
Royce Hall. I was able to see the flagpole using mapquest.com, and with a
little mouse click, I could get its latitude and longitude.
Voila, you just
set that lat lon as your destination, use the getting warmer method, and
after a little hike, you're there. This method does require a sighted guy
who has access to a computer and the internet, but unless it's already a
public user POI or you've been there before, it is pretty cool!
