Survey Traverse Calculator

Compute plane-traverse coordinates, closure, and optional Bowditch adjustment.

Planning and educational use only: this is a flat-plane approximation, not legal surveying. It does not apply geodetic projection, grid-to-ground scale, convergence, magnetic declination, elevation, instrument, or uncertainty corrections. Consult a licensed surveyor.

Setup

Start northing

Start easting

Entered distance unit

Coordinate/output unit

Use known endpoint

Apply Bowditch correction

Bearing examples: N 30° 15′ E, S45W, 123.5, 123:30:00. Azimuth is clockwise from north.
