[QUOTE="user 7268, post: 408428, member: 7268"] Can be techo or simple ? Grab a GPS go to workings and mark waypoint 1 . Then simply walk 500 metres North mark waypoint 2, then walk West until you have a heading of 170 back (Go To) to the original workings waypoint. Mark that waypoint 3. Load into Garmin base camp or similar when back home and your track or reef line in this case is plotted (waypoint 1 to waypoint 3)and can be printed out on what ever map type you choose to use / load into program. For the fun of it, would be good when you reach waypoint 3 to then do a Go To to Waypoint 2 and see how distance compares and would confirm with Silvers Trig calculations of 86.82 ? Not that I doubt them ;) If you want to do it at your desk then as long as you have the co ordinates of the original workings that is all you need and then use map scale as has been suggested to get distances as required. Happy hunting :Y: [/QUOTE]
