Bettering Our GNSS Data Collection: How Do You Really Know the Accuracy and Precision of Your 

GPS/GNSS Field Data?

Accuracy vs. Precision• Accuracy can be defined as the degree or closeness to 

which the information on a map matches the values in the real world. Therefore, when we refer to accuracy, we are talking about quality of data and about number of errors contained in a certain dataset. In GIS data, accuracy can be referred to a geographic position, but it can be referred also to attribute, or conceptual accuracy.

• Precision refers how exact is the description of data. Precise data may be inaccurate, because it may be exactly described but inaccurately gathered. (Maybe the GIS Professional made a mistake, or the data was recorded wrongly into the database).

Common sources of added inaccuracy• Where are the satellites?• Know where is your devices antenna?• Position your body for least obstruction

Where are the satellites?

You affect where are my satellites

Where is my antenna?

Understanding your NADS• NAD83 has many realizations

• NAD83 (1986) Original• NAD83 (1992) HARN• NAD83 (1994) CORS• NAD83 (2007)• NAD83 (2011) Epoch 2010.00

What is a datum shift?

In the past we did not have to be concerned with the shift between NAD83 (1986) and WGS84 as introduced in 1987, because the discrepancy easily fell within our overall error budget. NAD83 and WGS84, originally differed by only a centimeter or two. That is no longer true. In their new definitions—NAD83 (2011) and WGS84 (G1762)—differ up to one or two meters within the continental United States
