Geodetic Control
• Network of monumented points • Precisely measured in accordance
with standard procedures• Meets accuracy specifications • Adjusted to tie together and
documented for multiple uses

Spatial Data Accuracy
Accuracy crucial to building useful Geodetic Information Systems (GISs)
GIS builders and users must understand: Impact of data accuracy Details of spatial data accuracy Spatial data accuracy needs
Surveying and mapping professionals should: Understand accuracy needs of users Be involved in data design and collection

6UN Workshop Zambia27 June 2006
Why High Accuracy
• Realistic, useable representation of data – For local government, facilities management,
utility and other applications• Large scale applications can be conducted• Maps and decision making information
reliable• Data can be aligned and easily integrated• Survey data and GPS data can be input
directly• High accuracy data saves expense for many
operations

7UN Workshop Zambia27 June 2006
Misperceptions about Accuracy
• Assumptions:– It will take care of itself– We’ll work on it later– The maps look good– The maps look accurate– We don’t really need that much accuracy– What we have is good enough– Just load whatever data we can get– It’s too expensive
• Too little attention and understanding

8UN Workshop Zambia27 June 2006
Results of Inadequate Data Accuracy
• Data mismatches, inconsistencies, lack of registration
• Confusion
• Battling basemaps
• Wasted resources
• Decisions based on “bad” data
• Decisions based on in appropriate data
• Lawsuits
• Failed projects

Achieving Accurate GIS
• GIS needs: resource (survey) grade GPS – Accuracy ~ one foot
• GPS data can be used to adjust other data– Can be used for survey control
• GPS = Accuracy
