    THANK YOU!!! I have a boundary survey that (I just now learned from this video) is marked in azimuths. I've done a bit of orienteering but only ever used bearings. I have been stumped as to how to read this survey and your video has finally (1) corrected my understanding of the surveyor's metric and (2) how easy it is to convert. The property is heavily wooded and some lines extend over 2000'. Now I know how to find my line of direction and start marking out the fence line with confidence!

      ​@@SmithSurveying : The survey was done this year. The property is raw and overgrown, esp on the perimeter. Two adjacent tracts purchased separately and the survey costs (combined) were close to $4,500. I have given it serious consideration but for now I will probably just take my time with my chainsaw and work my way along it over the next few months. Time vs. money!

    • @SmithSurveying
      @SmithSurveying  2 роки тому +2

      I do not have a video but here is how you convert bearings to azimuths...
      If it is a NE bearing the azimuth will be the same.
      *Example: N20°E = 20°
      If it is a SE bearing take the bearing and subtract 180°. Ignore the negative value you get though.
      *Example: S7°E => 7° - 180° = 173°
      If it is a SW bearing take the bearing and add 180°.
      *Example: S30°W => 30° + 180° = 210°
      If it is a NW bearing you do 360° minus the bearing.
      *Example: N60°W => 360° - 60° = 300°

      Azimuth from south
      6°35' : will I add 180° directly to 6°35' since it's in the South then convert it to bearing using the given formula?

    How would you prove robot has consciousness using empirical data. How do you prove to blind man what color red is using empirical data. In theory, robot can be programmed to move its hand when it touches hot surface. How do I know its having the experience of hot using test tube(Deduction/induction). The only thing i am certain of is that i have experience of hot. This experience can only come from entity that can already experience existence (Allah-one/indivisible/self-sufficient/unique/All-Loving infinite perfection). If you cannot prove your own consciousness using “scientific method”, then how can you reject the existence of Perfect/infinite metaphysical being(Allah)? “Cogito ergo sum”( I think therefore I am) should be read as “cogito ergo est”(I think therefore Allah is).

    What if the azimoth is 180

      You can say due South for the bearing or S 0° E or S 0° W

    What about bearings to azimuths?

    • @SmithSurveying
      @SmithSurveying  3 роки тому

      If it is a NE bearing the azimuth will be the same.
      *Example: N20°E = 20°
      If it is a SE bearing take the bearing and subtract 180°. Ignore the negative value you get though.
      *Example: S7°E => 7° - 180° = 173°
      If it is a SW bearing take the bearing and add 180°.
      *Example: S30°W => 30° + 180° = 210°
      If it is a NW bearing you do 360° minus the bearing.
      *Example: N60°W => 360° - 60° = 300°

    Actually you don't need to remember these. It's a very simple concept.
