Hi,
One of the caves we are surveying has a maze subsection. I noticed that
the station's relative positions in that subsection differed when I run
the whole cave or just that section through cavern (and the results when
I run the whole cave looks less like the cave).
After some experimenting (adding more o f the cave to the subsection
run), I got to the point where I got the whole cave there and it still
looked good. Then I put in the *fix line with the UTM coordinates form
GPS and then it changed (and the subsection I was working with got
distorted).
This is the *fix:
*fix \gps 216842 8633520 600
When I took out the last digit of the northing, (863352) it got back to
normal.
Cheers,
Leandro
