I'm sure this should be easy, but like anything . . . it's not easy when you don't know how.
I'm trying to verify the direction of a property line.
Surveyor has the line running 70 degrees. To be technical, it reads "S. 70 degrees - 30' - 41" E
Somebody remarked the line and it's running 100 degrees with a hand-held compass. Even with the 13.6 degrees W of magnetic deviation, that's nowhere near 70 degrees, correct?
So, I took two GPS readings. With an imaginary line drawn between those two readings - how do I calculate a compass direction for that line?
