Chris Tweedie Looks at Google Maps Accuracy
Link - Its google … it must be right
After comparing some common overlays from both Mapserver and Arcims (using the php code i posted earlier), it was obvious something was up, either my data being projected was wrong or googles base data was out
Chris makes the same assertion that I did yesterday and it backs up why metadata is just so important. If the Google Maps service is going to be taken seriously they will have to start addressing this issue.
Of course if they just leave it in Beta for the next couple years, what does it matter?
I’m looking for any information to let me know if google maps are not always accurate. This is for a non-compete issue that requires a 2 mile radius between points. We are so close and I want to know if anyone knows if there could be a variance in measurement. Any help would be amazing!!!!
You could always just round up.
I would be very nervious using free online tools for such an endevor.
