I thought I'd start a thread specifically for reporting bugs and fixes for the cave survey data converter tool I am developing.
The latest reported bug is potentially quite serious as it can result in errors in the survey data.
When Disto/PocketTopo takes three readings near magnetic north, e.g. 359.8, 359.8, 0.1 the software sees the three as a leg which is OK, but the display on the PDA shows 359.8, 359.8, 0.1. The converter software then averages the three readings to 239.87 - not good
Now fixed. You can download from the usual place:
