Hi Tom, <BR>You also could try to do it with 2 points (lat & long secured) shooting alongside the visible sides of the building. At the map, you could work with geography to measure it out.<BR>If you have sight on other buildings or recognisable vieuwpoints you even can draw helplines (figutively) alongside the outsides of the building and work it out the same way. But it gets tricky if the building has more the 4 corners.<BR>Greetz<br> <br>> I've tried a couple of ways to survey in new buildings with my GPS. <br>> Obviously, just walking around the outside won't work because of <br>> reflections and obscuring of satellites. So first I tried sighting along <br>> each edge while walking toward or away from the building and keeping a <br>> track. Results were mediocre because the error was a bit high in spots.<br>> _______________________________________________<br>> newbies mailing list<br>> newbies@openstreetmap.org<br>> http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/newbies<br><BR> </div></body>
