Well, it depends on whether you're talking about a coordinate plane, or a flying plane. You can graph points on a coordinate plane, that's easy. But the flying kind of plane, there are lots of angles involved; at what angle do I take-off/land? Speed, that's another thing, you need speed to be able to stay in the air. That requires math.

Land surveying is mapping out land for land development. Hydrographic surveying is mapping bodies of water. Engineering is a type of surveying that has to do with buildings roads and other man made things.
lattitude is the coordinate length measured parallel to the north-south axsis and departure is the coordinate length measured perpendicular to the meridian directions.
General classifications of surveying include geodetic surveying, plane surveying, topographic surveying, cadastral surveying, construction surveying, and hydrographic surveying. Geodetic surveying deals with large-scale measurements of the earth's surface, while plane surveying focuses on small-scale measurements on a flat surface. Topographic surveying involves mapping of the land's natural features, cadastral surveying deals with land parcel boundaries, construction surveying is used for building projects, and hydrographic surveying is for mapping bodies of water and their features.
The University of Florida offers classes in land surveying.

geomatics differ with surveying in that it encompasses a broad range of disciplines than surveying,let alone surveying is a discipline under geomatics
This process is known as surveying.
The common term for measuring land is surveying.

There are two general types of land surveying: plane and geodetic. Plane surveying considers the earth to be a flat surface--a plane, which works well for jobs spanning a short distance (a few miles), because calculations are relatively simple. Surveys of this nature account for much of survey work being done. Geodetic surveying takes into account the true shape of the earth. These surveys are usually of a very large scale and most often performed by government agencies. GPS is capable of automatically giving geodetic positions (within certain qualifiers), though a thorough understanding of the principals of geodesy is necessary to adequately design and conduct a geodetic survey.
The prismatic compass is a type of compass use for survering a land.
