I've always made estimates for all four coordinates. (Which reminds me - it would sure be a good idea if method of finding coordinate values - e.g., transcribe off map; estimate from lat/long values on maps but not on 4 corners; estimate from another map; etc. - were in the catalog record; we could use a note, I know, but it seems to me it would be a better idea if the method actually appeared associated with the coordinates.)
