What to Focus On

  • Surveying includes both linear and angular measurements.
  • It presents ground positions on a flat sheet of paper on a selected scale.
  • It is used for map-making and planning.

  • Three bases of classification are accuracy, purpose, and instruments used.
  • Triangulation is very accurate.
  • Traversing is quick but less accurate.

  • Field work and plotting are done together.
  • No field book is required.
  • The plane table is fitted on a 1.5 metre tripod stand.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Surveying means only measuring distance on the ground.

Plane table survey requires a field book because field notes are always needed in surveying.

The ray drawn with the alidade is wrong because it is drawn along the working edge instead of through the middle slit and thread.
