Bearing & Distance Computation

Overview

The Bearing and Distance page transforms entered coordinates into accurate measurements. The tool calculates both the angle (bearing) and the linear distance between each pair of points, which is essential for land boundary definitions, traverse computations, and legal documentation.

Key Features

• Real-Time Computation: Instantly generates bearings in quadrant format (e.g., N45°E) and distances in meters or feet.
• Clear Output: Results are neatly arranged in tables for printing or saving to PDF.
• Reversible Format: Supports reversing directions to match survey diagrams.

Common Use Cases

Surveyors use this tool to:

• Generate legal boundary descriptions
• Compare ground measurements with plan data
• Prepare traverses for area calculations
• Validate field measurements with digital output

Practical Advantage

This page replaces manual calculations from calculators or spreadsheets. By using ITA Computations, users minimize errors and maximize speed, while maintaining documentation that's ready for land commission approval.
