[INDENT]Walls and tracks... big things that I can then relate smaller features too. However, the google map does not show everything.. ie gates, subtle changes beneath trees... so filed maps are also drawn (by hand) and by having a basic outline in the blue line... I can then shift everything to the 'correct location... and fit teh field plan (good old tape and paper) thus using th best of both worlds.
It's horses for courses basicly.. using the garmin in an area of tree cover to find myself... using teh paper and pen to draw what is there (plus a portable computer to log the sites onto a database while there) - However I suppose I can do this, being a surveyor who has used everything from the Theodolite to the Lieca GTS 1200 GPS understadning the principals to be ableto bend the laws of nature to fit what I need to do... and cheaper.
You'll have to buy the book... Survey made Shimples by J R BAJR
