The previous example resulted in a very simple network de-

sign. The figure below represents a more complex control sur-

vey where 10 new points are to be established based on 2

existing horizontal and 3 existing vertical control points.

Again, if you were to perform this survey with a conventional

total station, you would design a traverse plan which produced

a strong looking network of closed-loop traverses through the

points of the survey. The figure below shows one possible net

work design.

Although this network design was produced with conventional

traversing in mind, this same design can also be used if per

forming the survey with GPS equipment.
