The next example demonstrates how to display several traverses on the same map and adjust the positions of the traverses with respect to each other.

Note: See Getting Started section for file install folders (<SurveyMap> and <Defaults and Layouts>)

  1. File | Open <SurveyMap>\Adjust\block1.map.

  1. Maximize the window by clicking the maximize button on the top right of the traverse document window. Map | Add/Remove button, the Map traverses dialogue box, shown in below will appear.
