Bowditch Analytical Method (contd)

(b) The corrections to the departure (or latitude) of a traverse side, starting from station I and terminating to station j, can be calculated by using

Where

d d_ij = Correction in departure of a traverse side ij;

d l_ij = Correction in latitude of a traverse side ij;

dD = total error in departure of the traverse;

dL = total error in latitude of the traverse;

d_ij = length of the traverse side ij;

L = perimeter of the traverse ;
