Field notes and traverse drawing may be an outdated form of keeping and presenting
information on the position of features on a site. Modern electronic equipment and
computer based processing will inevitably supersede the traditional technique, but any
technique does require the understanding of position and relative association which is the
basis of the modern alternatives. In completing the following task, you gain some
knowledge of the concepts of the traverse and gain experience of using CAD software in
a different way.
The following field notes (3 sheets) of an investigation survey for a proposed service
station site have been compiled by a surveyor.
Using CAD software, produce a drawing of the traverse showing all the information on
the site.
