But I've only used Compass once or twice (mostly while trying move Walls data into Auriga - it worked, but required hand editing the first station of every survey). Obviously PocketTopo does - that seemed to be a clear vision for the use of that program.

Bob Thrun wrote:Luc Le Blanc speaks of "splay measures". After carefully reading his messages, I am not sure just what he means by that term. Apparently it implies special handling of splay shots, instead of just treating them as survey shots.
No any problem for me with DistoX and PocketTopo. Just one important think: I always measure 3-5 splay shots and draw cross-sections, walls, details. Then again several shots and draw again. An so on. Because if you'll measure 15 splay shots you should be totally lost. Exactly this method use professional surveyors. Main shots and ancillary (splay) shots.Anonymous_Coward wrote: Adding a separate category of "splay measures" seems complicated, confusing, and unnecessary.
