WHAT IS GEODETIC ENGINEERING ?
GEODETIC ENGINEERING LAW (RA 8560) AN ACT REGULATING THE PRACTICE OF GEODETINC
ENGINEERING IN THE PHILIPPINES
The practice of Geodetic Engineering is a professional and organized act of gathering physical data on the surface of the earth with the use of precision instruments.

PRACTICE OF SURVEYING RELEVANT TO REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE
DETERMINE METES AND BOUNDS is a system or method of describing land, real
property (in contrast to personal property) or real estate
Metes = boundary defined by distances and direction
Bounds = more general boundary description

Leveling is the operation of determining differences of elevation by measuring vertical distances directly on a graduated rod with the use of a leveling instrument such as a dumpy level, transit or Theodolites. This method is called Direct Leveling or Differential leveling
Indirect leveling can be done using the principle that differences in elevation are proportional to the differences in atmospheric pressure
Radiation is a surveying technique often used in conjunction with a plane table

THREE ELEMENTS OF SPACE IN SURVEYING
DISTANCE = the extent or amount of space between two things, points, lines, etc.
DIRECTION = a position on a line extending from a specific point toward a point of the compass or toward the nadir or the zenith
ELEVATION = height above a fixed reference point
![Page 30: LAND SURVEYS, SITE LOCATION AND MAP READING](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052317/56816964550346895de120a9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

ROUGH DISTANCE MEASUREMENT
PACING Distance = Pace factor × Number of
Paces
![Page 32: LAND SURVEYS, SITE LOCATION AND MAP READING](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052317/56816964550346895de120a9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Determine your Pace FactorHomework:
A Real Estate Broker walked along a given straight line in a horizontal ground that was known to be 60 m long, in order to determine her average unit pace. She paced the line five times, recording 78, 76.5, 77, 87, and 76 paces, respectively.
a. Determine her average unit pace, or Pace Factor (PF).b. If the said broker then counted an average of 123.5
paces while pacing off the line of unknown distance, what is the distance?
Remarks: Pace Factor (PF) = Distance ÷ Average Paces

THE MEASURING WHEELA simple measuring wheel mounted on a rod can be used to determine distances, by pushing the rod and rolling the wheel along the line to be measured.An attached device called an odometer serves to count the number of turns of the wheelsFrom the known circumference of the wheel and the number of revolutions, distances for reconnaissance can be determined with relative accuracy of about 1:200.

WHAT IS A COMPASS ? WHAT IS A COMPASS?
is a navigational instrument that measures directions in a frame of reference that is stationary relative to the surface of the earth
The frame of reference defines the four cardinal directions (or points) – north, south, east, and west.
Intermediate directions are also defined. a diagram called a compass rose, which shows the directions
(with their names usually abbreviated to initials), is marked on the compass.

WHY IS IT NECESSARY TO KNOW HOW TO USE A COMPASS
What is a compass survey? (BONUS PRESENTATION FOR YOUR INFO – STUDY LATER )
It is used for you to find north. The arrow that stays in a direction points north .
Can used for orienting a map
Can be use to find direction
Can be use to find location
![Page 40: LAND SURVEYS, SITE LOCATION AND MAP READING](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022052317/56816964550346895de120a9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
ORIENTING A MAPOrienting, or aligning, the map is really easy with just 3 steps:
• Lay your map out on a relatively flat, smooth surface.
• Turn your declination-adjusted compass dial so due North is at the index pointer.
• Place your compass on your map with the edge of the base plate parallel to the north-south meridians on the map.
• Turn the map and compass together until the compass needle is "boxed" in the orienting arrow

HOW TO FIND TRUE NORTH WITHOUT A COMPASS
The Shadow-Tip Method
1. Place a stick upright in the ground so that you can see its shadow. Alternatively, you can use the shadow of a fixed object. Nearly any object will work, but the taller the object is, the easier it will be to see the movement of its shadow, and the narrower the tip of the object is, the more accurate the reading will be. Make sure the shadow is cast on a level, brush-free spot.
2. Mark the tip of the shadow with a small object, such as a pebble, or a distinct scratch in the ground. Try to make the mark as small as possible so as to pinpoint the shadow's tip, but make sure you can identify the mark later.
3. Wait 10-15 minutes. The shadow tip will move mostly from west to east in a curved line.
4. Mark the new position of the shadow's tip with another small object or scratch. It will likely move only a short distance.
5. Draw a straight line in the ground between the two marks. This is an approximate east-west line.
6. Stand with the first mark (west) on your left, and the other (east) on your right. You are now facing mostly toward true north, regardless of where you are in the world.
This method is based on the fact that the sun moves across the sky from East to West.

What is Latitude and Longitude
Lines of Latitude
Lines of Longitude
Example: Equator = “0 °” latitude
- Also called “meredian”- “0 ° “ Longitude passes at Greenwich, England (by convention)

Why Orient a Map? If you know where you are on the map, you
should be able to look in any direction and see the objects represented on the map in the same direction.
If you can see a known mountain in one direction and a lake off another way, then just lay the map out, and turn it so the corresponding marks on the map align with the distant features.
You can verify the location of your subject property – on the ground

HOW REAL PROPERTY IS DESCRIBED
Metes and Bound method = a "bounded by" description Uses = appears in instruments such as sale contracts, deeds and
other agreements relating to the property Boundaries = uses physical features and geographical references
to identify and describe the property's dimensions. Importance = legal description is also helpful in identifying
property boundaries when making alterations or improvements, so a proper description is essential in preventing or deciding boundary disputes between neighboring property owners.
Lot and Block System = With a subdivision plat or map, the plat or map is divided into smaller blocks, with individual lots demarcated within the blocks.
