Can you be a little more specific about what you're wanting to know?

surveying does use it alot and so does desgining and architecture. Engineering, construction and factories and industries all use it. There are many jobs out there were trig can help. I hated it but it shocked me how much I have used it now.

I like to look at geologic surveys because in the building of\n    farms, sunhouses, pools, ponds, riding stables, many\n    gardens there is a demand that the area is comfortable.You \n    may find that keywords interest in specific ideals, once you\n    are on a regional site, or regional sites with lots of information\n    cover important points.  http://www.chamberofcommerce.com

Of course they are, being a former surveyor myself and my wife an IT technician.  The information gathered surveying will usually be conveyed, via internet or phone or faxt somewhere.

Good question.  Cartographers then have to do the ground work. By using a compass and an instrument to measure distance, the cartographers can then begin drawing a map.  A Dumpy level would also help to get the elevation of mountain ranges and rivers.  A sextant and a solar compass would be helpful if these are available to a fix on latitude and longitude of a point.\nHope this helps.  Please remember the precision and accuracy of this map will have significant error.

Green Flag's route finder is excellent\n\nhttp://www.greenflag.co.uk/routeplanning/

Websters dictionary says a transit is an instrument used by surveyors to determine angles. It also measures the up and down layout of the ground called topography. I believe you need 2 people, one to move a measuring stick and the other one reads the transit. Surveyors put the transit in a fixed or assigned spot. He looks through a little telescope that has a movable measure on the side called a compass (Maybe you will remember a similar tool from school called a protractor). The protractor measures distances and makes circles. The compass on the side of transit measures angles. By looking and recording the different angles and degrees on the transit compass compared to the assigned mark on the measuring stick the surveyor records the surface of the ground. In this way the surveyor provides information to the contract engineer. The measurements are used in algebra formulas to determine how much additional dirt is needed to make to site level or if the ground needs to be scrapped off to make it level. or the info could be used to determine if the site possibly will flood. I hope this is the info you are looking for. An encyclopedia or science book can probably do a better job of describing the process than I have. I hope you get a lot more responses.

Sure.  But why would you want to?  A guide could show you neat things off the beaten path that you otherwise might miss.  Good luck.

In the field of land surveys, cross-sections and profiles are used to estimate earth volume for the purpose of materials/resources needed to develop land or build roads.\n\nA Common error would be to not establish a frequent enough pattern to provide an accurate estimate for a land area with many changes in elevation.

ESRI, it aint cheap, but it is strictly made for maps like that. autocad map will do it too, but not as easy, but its a little cheaper. you could look at google earth too.

You don't want to, believe me. It's way to flat. I would go for some mountians or something like that. But if you insist...I would trying this web-site \n\nhttp://www.ils.unc.edu/parkproject/visit/ncmap.html\n\nHave fun ;)

It is complicated, but there is a decent description at http://library.kentlaw.edu/resources/Self_Guided_Library_Tours/librarytour1--05.pdf#search='am%20jur%20cjs'\n(pg 2-3 have basic info)

Try a geograghy book.

I'd have thought your best bet would be to buy the relevant Ordnance Survey maps - either the 1 to 50,000 Landranger Series (about £6 per sheet) or the 1 to 25,000 Explorer series (about £7 per sheet).  Peesonally I'd go for the Landranger maps as bridleways are more clearly defined.\n\nYou can buy online direct from the OS: http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/
