That's great guys - thanks a million. Should I be able to determine traverse accuracy ( 1 in xx,000) if I perform check ties on an open traverse. Shou...

Thanks for your reply Holy Cow. Unfortunately I don't have much experience of surveying yet so I was wondering how many check points others use per st...
