Spoilers/Speculation
gingerman28:
Monday night promo on DND (ugh!) included nice shot of the State Capital building in Lincoln, Neb. Could their clue send them to Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC?

I was wrong. I found a cap (below) of a team using the SL compass. A couple of things to note:
* It's not very user-friendly. Even the product page seems to get it wrong--look here for "proper method..." (doesn't 10 degrees south of due east=100?)
* Unless they're given a topo map or specific directions (e.g. "walk on a heading of 170 degrees") the teams will have to take declination into account. In the Rushmore area, for example, it's 9 degrees; it doesn't sound like much but it might be enough to send someone down the wrong trail.

Here's a Rushmore map showing the presidential trail in relation to the mountain/ampitheater/etc. I won't know if the presidential seal (cap below) ties in until I see the show.

For what it is worth, the Presidental trail takes you right under the faces of Washington and Lincoln. I was just there last summer, and I can't wait to see it on TV now!!!
