lat/lon kinda sucks because of the different notations (degrees with decimals? degrees and minutes with decimals? degrees and minutes and seconds with decimals?) and because of the way 0.1 degrees is a different amount of distance based on where you are on the earth.
UTM is better in every way, and already used on most modern hiking and topo maps.
