Hello @ballch49ZUG 

 

Here's a typical example illustrating how the distance and bearings work. Your mileage may vary.

Notes:

  • The distance is always preceded by '@' 
  • The '<' sign always precedes the bearing.
  • The bearing is typically sandwiched between the vertical bearing (N or S) and the horizontal bearing (E or W).
  • The start and end points of a line segment might be reversed and can create confusion. If you rotate the line 180-degrees at its midpoint and move the line accordingly, you can correct the problem. Rotation like this will not change the line's length nor orientation with respect to the north pole and equator. 
  • Although the survey's POB (Point of Beginning) is fully described in the survey, the start and end point of each individual line segment is not mentioned in the metes and bounds.
  • Many surveys are undertaken using hand-held, battery powered instruments.
  • Although Bluetooth and mobile connections are becoming more common, data collected by hand-helds are typically uploaded to computers back in the office, which in turn, are compiled and downloaded for reports and to generate Cad drawings.
  • It is the responsibility of the downloading program, not necessarily human input, to make downloads user friendly.
