3 years ago Proposed solution is to change Step 3 and the image caption to the following:
Step 3 – Determine the final coordinates and geographic radial: Treat the set of boundaries from Step 2 and the minimum area between them as parts of the same feature. Find the corrected center and geographic radial for this combined feature (Figure 20B). Use the coordinates of the corrected center of this combined feature for the resulting Input Latitude and Longitude and use the length of the geographic radial of the combined feature as the final uncertainty. No further calculation is necessary.
Figure 20. Determination of the input coordinates and geographic radial for a Locality Type Offset along path where there are multiple possible paths matching the locality description, in this case two roads out of a town. A: Inset showing the boundaries, midpoints (a₁ and a₂), and distances from midpoints to outer edges (shown as geographic radials b₂ and b₂) of the intersections of the paths and the starting feature. B: Boundary, corrected center (a₃) and geographic radial (b₃) for the combination of the two road sections, each defined by offsets at a distance X along the respective paths from their respective midpoints in the starting feature, plus or minus the uncertainties determined for the Distance along a Path locality type (u).

...to be consistent with the changes to previous two sections and with the Figure.
