[comp.sys.handhelds] HP-48 survey programs?

wscott@ecn.purdue.edu (Wayne H Scott) (10/31/90)

Has anyone written a application for the 48 or the 28 to aid in
surveying?  I know application cards are comming out, but I want
something free that I can improve.

I have been wanting to write some routines to do surveying for some time
now.  What functions are normally included (I have never used a 
calculator survaying package.) 

I was thinking something very impressive could be done on a 48. 
	Large database of points
	plot points with connecting lines and labels
	Error averaging with redundent data.  (any hints)
	Transformations
	etc..

Can some people give me some ideas on what they would like, how they think
it should work, what it should look like, etc...
