Yes, but what does it have to do with stand coordinates in the charting material?

We use GPS/GPS updating for around 15 years now and still had stand coordinates in every charting material we used, be it jepp, EAG (i believe its now navtech) or nowadays LIDO.

That said, we don't use them normally, just the present GPS position is accurate enough for initialization, in fact it is usually more precise than the official stand coordinates. Not an option for non-GPS airplanes though, or flying with GPS inop, in that case the stand coordinates have to be used.
