To conduct compass surveying, stand at a known point and sight the compass toward the new point whose direction you want to measure. Record the bearing shown on the compass. Repeat this process at multiple known points to triangulate the position of the new point. Calculate the coordinates of the new point based on the triangulated bearings and distances.
prismatic surveying and surveying compass.
The prismatic compass is a type of compass use for survering a land.
Rufus James Foster has written: 'Compass surveying' -- subject(s): Surveying, Surveyor's compass
The disadvantages of using a compass for surveying is that readings are often inaccurate (accuracy dependent on size and graduations of compass, it is easily disturbed by effects of local magnetic attraction
The local attraction are the error affecting device available at near by the compass while doing surveying. the local attraction is the effect of the magnetic materials on the compass and gets the incorrect bearing.
A surveyor's compass, or a circumferentor is a device used in surveying to measure horizontal angles. It is used by directing the line of sight.

Drawing accurate circles and part circles in surveying, mathematics and geometry in schools and at work where planning is involved.
advantage it helps u know the direction of your measurement in relation to magnetic bearing disadvantage it is affected by the weather
