Glad that all went OK.
Your sentence " I knew about the number designations on each of the 100m markers along the motorway, so could define our precise location" reminded me of something which may have been previously mentioned here before.
There is a phone app called what 3 words (what3words.com/about-us/ - download for Android at play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.what3words.android&hl=en , dunno about IoS) which has the whole world divided up into 3m squares, each of which has a unique three words associated. This is now accessible by the emergency services in many countries.
I've put it on my and SWMBOs phone, thinking that in the event of us needing to explain where we are when out walking in the countryside (i.e. offroad) it could be a lifesaver, or if something happened abroad where we don't speak the local lingo.
It might already have a thread of it's own, if not maybe it deserves one.
EDIT: I made a new thread for what3words at www.car4play.com/forum/post/index.htm?f=5&t=27619
