What is Traversing?

When the linear measurements are done with chain and tape and the directions or angles are measured with compass or transit respectively, the survey is called traversing. In traversing, speed and accuracy of the field work is enhanced.

How to Calculate Direction of Closing Error in Traversing?

Direction of Closing Error in Traversing calculator uses Direction of Closing Error = Sum of Departures/Sum of Latitudes to calculate the Direction of Closing Error, Direction of Closing Error in Traversing is defined as the ratio of departure to latitude. A traverse is balanced by applying correction to latitudes and departures. This is called balancing a traverse. Direction of Closing Error is denoted by tanθ symbol.

How to calculate Direction of Closing Error in Traversing using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Direction of Closing Error in Traversing, enter Sum of Departures (ƩD) & Sum of Latitudes (ƩL) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Direction of Closing Error in Traversing calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.75 = 30/40.
