Abstract
Understanding and applying the correct Parcel Traverse Closure Methodology
Track: Cadastral and Land Records
Authors: John Lee
Parcel traverses can now be adjusted to eliminate closure errors using the Compass, the Transit or the Crandall adjustment methods. This makes deciding which methodology to apply when editing parcels even more difficult and confusing for non-surveyors.
This presentation will define when each methodology should be chosen by providing a series of suggested Best Management Practices guidelines.
The demonstrated workflows and analysis will assist forward thinking GIS Land Records Managers in seamlessly integrating data into the underlying parcel fabric whether the data source be internal technicians, external providers, land surveyors or any other municipal organizations.
