About this course

The definitive traverse package. Lecture 4 walks through the seven-step computation: angular misclosure, angle balancing, side directions, latitudes and departures, linear misclosure, adjustment and area. Traverse 5 then applies it to complete closed and linked traverses with balanced coordinates and precision ratios, and the D.M.D. solution shows two ways to compute the enclosed area.

The complete seven-step traverse workflow
Closed and linked traverse tables, balanced to coordinates
Area by coordinates and by D.M.D. included
