Cartagoo? Yep, will have a look. And here all these years I've been using expensive commercially available software (Penmap). I should have just typed in my search "free" first. Doh! On another digression, regarding "surveying". Having been old schooled in surveying i.e. with a compass, back sighting, triangulating and using a dumpy level and stadia rod, these skills still come in quite useful. There have been times when on remote projects when the surveyor (the only one present) has been injured, gone down sick, equipment has failed etc and those few of us who still remember the basic skills were able to carry on. On recent projects I still use these methods to set out trenches for individuals that I would have assumed knew how. Given their level of experience I was quite suprised to find that they didn't.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.
