See the area, closure, and precision as you plot.
Area, perimeter, closure error, precision, and remainder to the point of beginning are computed live for every tract, so a professional can verify before it goes out.
From calls to checked numbers
The metrics compute as you plot, with no separate step.
Plot the tract
Enter or import the calls. The metrics update as each call lands.
Read the metrics
Area, perimeter, closure error, and precision are shown for the tract without a separate step.
Verify the remainder
Remainder to the point of beginning is reported, so you can see how the boundary returns and check it yourself.
What Trace computes
- Area in acres and square feet
- Perimeter
- [Bearing and distance table: confirm]
- Closure error
- Precision ratio
- Gap and overlap flags
- Remainder to the point of beginning
- Per segment values
- Live as you plot
Verifications, answered
How is area calculated?
Area is computed from the plotted traverse and shown in acres and square feet for each tract.
What does the precision ratio tell me?
It expresses the closure error against the total distance traversed as a ratio, a common way to describe how tightly a boundary closes.
Do the numbers update while I edit?
Yes. Area, perimeter, closure, and precision recompute as you add or change calls.
What is remainder to the point of beginning?
It is the distance and direction from the last call back to where the boundary started, which shows how the traverse closes.
Can I trust these for a deliverable?
The numbers are shown so a professional can verify them. Trace reports the math; the professional signs off.
