Ground Distance Is A Serious Misnomer...I don't think I've ever used the term Ground distance on a plat or description because, I agree, it's a poor w...

This seems to me to be more like asking you to use a minute with 60 seconds in it instead of 57.

The radius will be different between at the pc and pt. Three point definition (such as pc, pt and midpoint) is better but the curve will change as it...

I like having a geodetic database in which points can be recalled and projected (or not projected) in any system the user desires. It's the future I ...

What you get is the local tangent plane horizontal distance and the true azimuth from the standpoint to the forepoint.That's what I was referring to r...

I think that makes sense except for cases with extreme vertical relief. "Grid" is an imaginary surface. It's not explicit. "This distance is 1000' alo...

Right on Leon. I plan to do the same thing when 2022 comes along.
