Explanation:

Traversing:

If traversing is done with angular measurements in most of cases magnetic bearings are required, but it is best for those places where the local magnetic attraction is not present. Or in other words, traversing done with the magnetic bearings method is best suitable for those places where the local magnetic attraction is absent.

1. Linear measurements

  • Tachometric method.
  • Electronic distance measurement instrument.

2. Angular measurements

  • Loose needle method of bearing.
  • Fast needle method of bearing.
  • Method of included angles.
  • Method of direct angles.
  • Method of deflection angles.
