Traverse Calculator

Enter traverse legs (bearing in degrees and distance) to compute closure error, precision ratio, and adjusted coordinates.

Format: azimuth(degrees), distance per line. Example: 45, 100

Compass Rule Adjustment

The Compass Rule distributes the linear closure error proportionally to each leg based on its distance. The precision ratio is the total perimeter divided by the closure error; ratios better than 1:10,000 are typical for modern surveys.
