Map Check By Points

This command allows you to check the closure of a figure and produce a report. The points used for the map check should already be stored in a coordinate (.CRD) file, by using commands such as Traverse, Locate by Bearing, Curves menu, Locate by Angle -- or perhaps a file from an electronic data collector.
