Surveyors use theodolites to measure angles in the horizontal and vertical planes with high accuracy. This allows them to determine directions and elevations of various points on the land they are surveying. The data collected from theodolites is essential for creating maps, construction projects, boundary delineation, and other surveying applications.

What did Sir Robert Falcon Scott use to navigate?
Navigation technologies in the age of Heroic Exploration included sextants, theodolites and other celestial navigation tools.
What is the size of theodolite?
Theodolites generally can weight anything from about 1 kg up to over 10 kg depending on the age and model of the theodolites. The older smaller mechanical/optical versions are generally lighter than the larger electical versions that have come out since the 1970's. Don't forget the ancillary items (e.g. protective carrying cases, tripods, batteries and recording devices). A good site to visit is: http://www.wild-heerbrugg.com/technical_data_wild_theodolite.htm

What is the difference between transit and non transit thiodolite?
Transit theodolites (or just 'Transits') are those in which the telescope can rotate in a complete circle in the vertical plane, whereas the rotation in the same plane is restricted to a semi-circle for non-transit theodolites
