State plane? UTM? There are other coordinate systems than lat/long. A state plane picks an arbitrary place in the state and measures in feet (or meters) from that North and East. Similarly, Universal Transverse Mercator chops up the earth into 3 degree zones and then makes meters north and east from a reference point in that zone. It's a bit more involved than that, but it's good enough for the precision of what unassisted GPS is going to give you.
