WHAT YOU CAN DO • Bearing-and-distance traverse with running coordinates; edit any leg in place; enter legs in metres, feet, US survey feet, or links • Inverse / join: two points to distance, azimuth, and quadrant bearing • Inverse list / radiations: bearing & distance from one point to every other point • Sideshot reduction: horizontal angle, zenith, and slope distance to northing, easting, and elevation • Closure: linear misclosure, misclosure bearing as azimuth or quadrant (your choice), precision ratio (1 : N) • Balance a traverse by the Compass (Bowditch) or Transit rule • Closed traverse from field angles — angular misclosure and angle balancing • Enclosed area by coordinates, with acres / hectares and perimeter • Horizontal curve solver — R, Δ, arc, tangent, chord, external, mid-ordinate, degree of curve, PC & PT — plus a stakeout table • 3-point circle / arc — fit a circle through three points and divide the arc into stake points • Angle calculator — add/subtract angles, angle between bearings, bearing ± angle • POB calculator — chain editable bearing-distance calls from a point of beginning • Intersections — bearing-bearing, bearing-distance, distance-distance — and 3-point resection • Line tools — four-point intersection, parallel and perpendicular lines • Common tangent — all four tangents between two circles, with offsets • Two unknowns — solve two missing traverse distances, bearings, or one of each, offsets included • Recessed invert — slant tape shot to invert depth and elevation • Unit converter — chains, links, feet & inches, varas, metres, acres, hectares, gons: type once, see every unit • UTM converter — latitude/longitude as decimal degrees, DMS with N/S/E/W, DDMMSS, or packed D.MS • State Plane (SPCS83 and SPCS2022 preview) — lat/lon to grid with scale factor, convergence, and combined factor • Grid ↔ Ground converter — distances through a typed or zone-derived combined scale factor • Horizontal alignment — PI-chained tangents, curves, optional spirals, stationing, station & offset, stakeout • Predetermined / hinged area subdivision — parallel cutoff or hinged line to a target area • Metes-and-bounds legal description — generate a written deed description from a closed traverse • Plot / sketch view of the traverse with north arrow, scale bar, and legend • Import/export points as CSV in your column layout (PNEZD, PENZD, NEZ, ENZ …) and delimiter • Export DXF (AutoCAD R12) and a one-page PDF report — CSV, DXF, and PDF export are free • Work in DMS, decimal, or packed D.MS; azimuth or quadrant; feet or metres — set your defaults once • Native iOS keyboard or the in-app survey keypad with DMS keys • Ask “Theo,” the on-device AI assistant (Apple Intelligence), in plain English PRIVATE BY DESIGN 100% offline.
