Reply to "Two Questions"

Question 1: Pete Riegel described a possible procedure under "Addition to measurement" below on Nov 17 04.

Question 2:I notice that you converted your primary measurement unit (counts or revs) to meters. Also, Ron suggests taking measurements with a steel tape. These sort of procedures are described in the official on-line manual, but as I pointed out in MN a few months ago, conversions to standard measurement units are quite unnecessary.
Suppose I measured a an old course from start to finish and found it to be 400 counts too short. If I wished to make a correction at the start, I would turn around and measure back to the old start. I would then note the counts, and if I had more than 400 to go on this measurement, I would make the new start at the completion point. Otherwise, I would ride an addtional 400 counts and make the new start there. I would make an accurate correction without having to know what it is in meters or getting out the steel tape.
