FIELD NO.: 5

TITLE: COMPASS TRAVERSE

OBJECTIVES:
To run a compass traverse

INSTRUMENT & ACCESSORIES:


1. 1 Surveyor’s compass
2. 3 Steel Tape
3. 5 Range poles

ALTERNATIVES:
1. 1 Smart phone with compass app
2. Chalks
3. Yarn Threads
4. 1 Tape Measure
5. 5 water botttles as range poles
6. Field Note/Paper
7. Pen

PROCEDURE:
1. Drive five range poles firmly into the ground at random distances and random
directions. Designate the corners as A, B, C, D, and E.
2. Set and level the compass at station A.
3. Release the needle of the compass so that it will freely swing on its pivot.
4. Read and record the backward and forward bearing of AB and AE,
respectively.

PHOTO ESSAY:

CONCLUSION:

Equipments used

Setting up 5 corners A,B,C,D & E with water bottles


Setting and leveling the compass at each stations

Getting the backward and forward bearing for each points

CONCLUSION:
I therefore conclude that every point of a traverse can be measured with a compass and tape to
get each bearing and length
