Chain & offset method

To use this method you must have two reference nodes positioned in the survey and know the chain distance and the offset distance, measured using a tape measure or a laser rangefinder.

  1. Tap .
  2. Select the two reference nodes that define the construction line: tap and then tap the first node, then tap and tap the second node.

    The construction line appears on the map.

  3. Measure the horizontal chain distance from node 1. Tap and enter the distance.
  4. Measure the horizontal offset distance. Tap and enter the distance.

    The target node appears on the map.

  5. Tap the map to toggle between the two possible calculated positions for the target node.
  6. Tap to create the node in the position shown.
