Mapper calculates the coordinates of places, given measurements of their relative positions. Measurements may be in terms of the distances between places, bearings of one places from another, and relative bearings of two places from a third place. The program can also take information traced from existing plans and maps. The program takes into account the inaccuracy of the measurements, so it is reasonably robust when given inaccurate or incorrect measurements.
