Bearing and Distance, height
excluded
Point A - GPS point on which
bearing
α is measured.
Bearing - Bearing Angle to the
Hidden Point in units configured.
Distance - Horizontal distance from
Point A to the Hidden Point in units
configured.
Use ABORT (F1) to abort the
procedure. When Point A is
highlighted, use NEWOC (F5) to
occupy that point before you start
measuring the hidden point.
When Bearing is highlighted, the
BRNG (F6) key is available. This
function may be used if you do not
know or have no device for
determining the bearing. Select a
point that lies on the line AH (see
diagram). Occupy the point and press
BRNG (F6).
Input a Point Id and the Direction
(Toward or Away from the hidden
point). Then press OCUPY (F1) and
STOP (F1), STORE (F1) according to
the Occupation Settings. The
Bearing towards point H will be
calculated using the auxiliary point
and Point A.
A - GPS point on which bearing
α
is measured
B -Measured Distance from
A to H
C -Auxiliary Point (optional)
H -Hidden point
α αα αα
- Measured Bearing from A to H
