Latitude and Departure in Surveying; Calculating Rectangular Coordinates (with Solved Example)
This video explains the latitude and departure of a line in surveying along with their derivation of the formula. Also, it explains the calculation of the coordinates of the forward point when the length and bearing of the line and coordinates of the backward point are given. The video also discusses the signs of latitude and departure in all the quadrants. In the end, an example related to the calculation of coordinates of a point using latitude and departure is also discussed.
