How do I find it accurately if its buried?......
Why is the map wrong?Why is the map wrong?Historically, Ordnance Survey maps were produced at different scales using different surveying methods resulting in varying degrees of accuracy.
There are four accuracy categories.•1:1250 scale•1:2500 scale resurvey/reformed•1:2500 scale overhaul. Maps originally recompiled from pre-1946 County Series mapping•1:10 000 scale.
Ordnance Survey describes accuracy in two ways.•Absolute or positional accuracy.•Relative accuracy Source – www.gov.uk
Accuracy ConsiderationsAccuracy Considerations
Absolute accuracy – A measure which indicates how closely the coordinates of a point on a map eg. Ordnance Survey, agrees with the true National Grid coordinates of the same point on the ground eg. captured with GNSS. Relative accuracy – Relative accuracy compares the precise distance between features measured in the real world to the distance between the equivalent features in the data.

Working with Map ErrorsWorking with Map Errors• Always work to a minimum of map accuracy• Network assets are predominantly mapped
• Relatively in urban areas• Absolutely in rural areas• Always need to be correctly shown on
the map• High-accuracy GNSS for new data capture
• Store absolute coordinates and capture method. Important for:• Modelling • Relocation• Quality
Achieving Map AccuracyAchieving Map Accuracy
• Choose the right tool for the job• Ensure Mobile GIS software is fit for
purpose• Use up to date OS transformations
OSTN02/OSGM02• Simple “plug and play” scalable GNSS• Create quality flags in workflow/database• Drive behaviour of field teams to capture
data consistently
Technology ConsiderationsTechnology Considerations
• GNSS (not just GPS)• Capturing GNSS quality flags• If not then manual methods need to be
robust (minimum 2 dimensions) • Integrating other sensors (eg. laser
rangefinder, Cable locator)• Real-time corrections• Post-processing GNSS
