converting legal description to gps waypoints

I have a nearly square 20 acre property in North Idaho which has been
surveyed. I know the physical location of one of the metal survey
markers. I want to locate the other 3 corner markers. Is there a way I
can convert the legal decription data into a form that is usable in a
GPS to enable me to at least come close to the marker locations.

Here is part of the legal description so you know what you know the
type of information I have:

"A tract of land in the North half of Section 17, Township 58 North,
Range 1 East, boise Meridian, Bonner County, Idaho more specifically
described as follows:

Beginning at a point on the North line of said Section 17, distant
South 80-05-10 West 4231.19 from the Northeast corner of said Section
17;

thence south 0-30-34 East 822.01 feet, more or less, to a 1/2 inch
rebar as noted on Survey, recorded July 2, 1979 under Instrument No.
XXXX and also noted on Survey recorded October 12, 1986 under
Instrument No. XXXX, records of Bonner County, Idaho;

thence south 89-05-09 West (also known a North 89-57-42) a distance of
1059.49 feet,more or less to the West line of said Section 17;

etc etc....

If a GPS will be useful, please let me know if there is any particular
functionality I will need. Or maybe I could do this just as easy with a
compass.

Thanks for your help.

Dave
